Sons of Union Veterans of the Civil War

The Sons of Union Veterans of the Civil War was organized by members of the Grand Army of the Republic and designated the legal heir of and represents the Grand Army of the Republic. Since the GAR did not include veterans of any other war besides the Civil War, it was destined to become extinct when the last member died, which occurred in 1956.

US Highway 6: The Midland Trail

"US 6 was the longest US Highway, once going 3517 miles coast to coast from Long Beach to Provincetown on Cape Cod, Massachusetts. Today it remains the second longest, being only 116 miles shorter than US 20. US 6 seems more of a Frankenstein's monster of highways than a single route since it is a patchwork of what can be many different highways. It heads north/south in some places, east/west in others, and diagonally. For this reason, it is in apparent violation of highway numbering convention as it starts in Cape Cod, north of all but US 2 and US 4 then ends in Long Beach south of US 70. It is generally agreed the US 6 is not a violation since its general route is east/west in accordance with the even number. It also appears that while it was a rule that all highways ending in 0 or 5 needed to conform to a grid, it was permissible to assign diagonal routes to other numbers. US 6 offers the best cross section of the United States possible, going through arid desert, rugged mountains, the Great Plains, and the forested land of the northeast United States."

Casey Highway Trip Rte 6 [Pennsylvania]

"Here are some snaps I took on a weekend in September while visiting with the family. I wanted to have a look at the new US 6 Freeway; The Lackawanna Valley Industrial Highway, officially; But signed as the Robert Casey Highway. A fitting tribute to a governor who started the improvements program that has brought highway quality in Pennsylvania streets ahead of where it was 15 or 20 yrs ago."

CONNECTICUT ROADS. Small State. Big Roads. Route 6

Some parts of US 6 predate route numbering by a century or more. Much of present-day US 6 (and most of the 1926 routing) is part of The Revolutionary Road, used by the American Continental Army in at least five campaigns, including a successful Rhode Island battle that enabled the French to land at Newport eventually join the fight for American independence.
