The Vanishing Minority of the Loyal Legion, With a Brief Sketch of the Order (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781175837172)

"The Vanishing Minority of the Loyal Legion" offers a unique glimpse into the Military Order of the Loyal Legion of the United States (MOLLUS), a patriotic organization formed by officers who served in the Union armed forces during the American Civil War. Written by Stephen Cooper Ayres, himself a member, this work provides a brief sketch of the order's history, aims, and membership as it entered the 20th century.

Ayres reflects on the dwindling numbers of Civil War veterans and, consequently, the 'vanishing minority' within the Legion. This book serves as a valuable historical document, capturing the spirit and camaraderie of these officers and their dedication to preserving the memory of the Union cause. It offers insights into the social and cultural landscape of post-Civil War America, as well as the enduring legacy of those who fought to preserve the nation.
