Zalmon G. Simmons, builder/first owner of the Manitou & Pikes Peak Railway, had this medal made for the 1905 Denver Encampment of the G.A.R. Each attending member also received a trip to the summit on the Cog. The Grand Army of the Republic, a Civil War veterans organization founded in 1866, reached its largest membership in 1890 with more than 490,000 members. The six surviving members permanently closed the organization in 1949.
