    22nd MVI Writings Available Online

    The off-season may be upon us, but the research of the members of the recreated 22nd MVI on our historical antecedents continues apace. John Patten in particular continues to dig up numerous amazing tidbits from his meanderings around the country and the web alike. A recent discovery is some collected letters of Private Alvah Cotton, posted in our archives. These letters were condensed by his wife and shared for posterity-- and are now available thanks to John's research and transcription. These letters, and many more transcriptions-- primarily by our own John Patten and Jeremy Fraine-- are available in our Writing of the Original 22nd MVI section.
