Military Order of the Loyal Legion of the United States: War Papers (MOLLUS) – Wisconsin Capturing a significant number of entries in four volumes, 46-49, the Wisconsin Commandery portion of the MOLLUS Papers provides our focus this month. From 1891-1914, veterans from the

Badger State produced more than 140 papers, including accounts from the Eastern and Western Theaters, the Trans-Mississippi, and a spattering of naval reports.

Students of President Abraham Lincoln will find several stories of our nation’s sixteenth executive within these papers.

A reminder on the background of this series, the first two volumes of the Broadfoot 1990s reprint set, unnumbered, consist of ‘Biographical Sketches of Contributors,’ and ‘Companions.’

The second volume offers

hundreds of photographs of the various members. The collected papers from the commanderies appear in the following order: Ohio, volumes 1-9; Illinois, 1013D; Missouri, vol. 14; Kansas, 15; Maine, volumes 16-19; New York, 20-23; Indiana, 24; Nebraska, 25; Minnesota, 26-31; Rhode Island, 32-41; District of Columbia, 42-45; Wisconsin, 46-49; Michigan, 50-51; Massachusetts, 52-54; Iowa, 5556; Vermont, 57; Pennsylvania, 58-59; California and Oregon, volume 60. A four-volume index

October 2018 completes the Broadfoot set.

Next month, this column will provide the table of contents of the MOLLUS Papers from Michigan, and space permitting, Massachusetts. Digitizedversions of MOLLUS exist online at the organization’s website: http://suvcw.org/mollus/warpapers/warpapers.htm (also check http://suvcw.org/mollus/ molid.htm) and at the Internet Archives, http://bit.ly/2EVfpPC. Researchers wishing to purchase the printed set may do so at Broadfoot Publishing, http:// www.broadfootpublishing.com.

Craig Kirkland – GOEX Master Distributor Thomas W. Colley served in one of the most active and famous units in the Civil War, the 1st Virginia Cavalry, which fought in battles in the Eastern Theater, from First Manassas/Bull Run to the defense of Petersburg. Colley was born November 11, 1837, outside Abingdon, Virginia, and grew up knowing the daily demands of life on a farm. In May 1861, along with the other members of the Washington Mounted Rifles, he left his home in Washington County and reported to camp in Richmond. During the war, Colley received wounds on three different occasions: first at Waterloo Bridge in 1862, again at Kelly’s Ford in 1863, and finally at Haw’s Shop in 1864. The engagement at Haw’s Shop resulted in the amputation of his left foot, thereby ending his wartime service.

The first scholarly edition of Colley’s writings, of Self and Comrades, dramatizes Colley’s fate as soldier mustered out before the war’s conclusion. postwar reflections on the war reveal his struggle living and maintain his integrity while remaining unreconciled to his condition.

In Memory a wounded Colley’s to earn a somewhat

Annotations from editor Michael K. Shaffer provide further context to Colley’s colorful and insightful writings on both his own condition and the condition of other veterans also dealing with amputations.
