Camp Commander
CHARLES A. GREENFIELD

The Camp is named for Cpl. James Tanner of the 87th NYVI,
severely wounded at 2nd Manassas suffering the loss of both legs.
Fitted with prosthetics, he secured a position with the War Dept.
and was present with Secretary of War Stanton at Ford's Theatre and
The Peterson House the night Lincoln was assassinated.
Tanner's stenographic notes remain the most comprehensive record
of the events of that terrible evening.

James Tanner was active in veterans activities after the war, serving as
Commander-in-Chief of the Grand Army of the Republic in 1905-06.

He is buried in Arlington National Cemetery, along with his wife.

 

The James Tanner Camp meets monthly in 

Cobleskill, New York.
