Fraternal ribbon of ivory silk. The Sons of Veterans was an Allied Order of the Grand Army of the Republic, the Union soldiers' veterans organization. This ribbon was given to all members of the General Crook Camp who were attending the Kansas Division encampment in Hutchinson around 1891. The donor (Grant Harrington) was a member of this camp. He probably acquired the ribbon while attending the encampment for which it was issued.
