Grant Reading First Stars and Stripes Newspaper

The Birth of the Stars and Stripes Join us as we delve into a pivotal moment in history at the Stars and Stripes Museum in Bloomfield, Missouri, where the iconic soldier's newspaper, the Stars and Stripes, was born on November 9, 1861. In this video, Dr. Curt Fields portrays General Ulysses S. Grant, recounting the fascinating story of how ten soldiers, previously newspaper men, took it upon themselves to create a publication dedicated to the common soldier during the Civil War. After receiving intelligence about Brigadier General Jeff Thompson's rebel forces in Bloomfield, Grant ordered Colonel Richard Oglesby to mobilize troops from multiple locations to neutralize the threat. As Oglesby’s troops navigated through treacherous swamps to reach Bloomfield, the local newspaper's editor, Mr. James Hull, fled the area, leaving behind a nearly completed edition of the paper. Seizing this unique opportunity, the soldiers transformed the abandoned newspaper office into a hub of communication for the Union troops, publishing their own version of the Stars and Stripes with the motto, "The Union, It Must and Shall be Preserved." This video captures the spirit of camaraderie and resilience among the soldiers, as they reflect on their mission not to destroy a country, but to save one. Watch now to discover how the Stars and Stripes became a symbol of hope and unity during one of America's most tumultuous times.
