Confederate Veteran Magazine. Nashville-based Confederate Veteran magazine was founded in 1893 by Sumner Archibald Cunningham, who also edited it. The monthly magazine commemorating the Confederate soldier was originally designed to inform patrons on the status of the Jefferson Davis monument fund spearheaded by Cunningham but eventually evolved into a clearinghouse for information related to events and rituals honoring Confederate traditions like reunions, battle enactments, and the erection of granite memorials. The magazine also reported on local and regional activities of the United Confederate Veterans and United Daughters of the Confederacy. But Cunningham's magazine played its most important role as a mouthpiece for rank-and-file reminiscences. It stood in sharp contrast to the Southern Historical Society Papers edited by J. William Jones in Virginia, which stressed grand debates about strategy and command-level war aims.
