Excerpt from War Papers, Vol. 4: Read Before the Commandery of the State of Wisconsin, Military Order of the Loyal Legion of the United States
Several fine addresses, well worthy of publication, have been given to the Commandery, but the Committee of Publication has been controlled by the principles which govern this organization and, reluctantly felt compelled to publish only those which are obviously connected with the War of the Rebellion.
Several of the papers contain important and valuable addi tions to the history of events which happened in that memorable period, and. Told by those who witnessed the scenes described, they have great value. These War Papers issued by the State Commanderies are a unique contribution to history. In no other war have the participants made such a record of their acts; they constitute a legacy to the Nation second only to the deeds described; they are an enduring monument which time will not destroy; their value will increase with the lapse of years; they will be precious to the descendants of those who freely offered their lives to secure the perpetuity of the Nation.
