| Lynaugh, Matthias J. | Title: Matthias J. Lynaugh Papers and Photographs, Quantity: 7.2 linear ft. (11 archives boxes and 14 oversize folders) of papers and 0.8 linear ft. (2 archives boxes) of photographs. Call Number: WVM Mss 699 Abstract: Papers and photographs of Matthias J. Lynaugh, a private in the 32nd Division during World War I who was very active in veterans organizations throughout his life. The majority of the collection relates to Lynaugh's involvement with various veterans' organziations in the post-World War I period. Three such groups are particularly well-represented: the Old Company G Veterans Association, the American Legion, and La Societe des Quarante Hommes et Huit Chevaux (40 et 8). The materials involving these groups do not often relate directly to Lynaugh, but they reflect his interest and membership in the groups by the fact that he collected them. Company G was composed of veterans from the Madison area who fought in the 127th Infantry Regiment, part of the 32nd Division. Its materials include membership and financial records as well as correspondence. Of particular interest is a postcard, sent by Lynaugh while training at Camp MacArthur (Waco, Texas) in 1917, that is in the shape of an artillery shell. Papers from the national, state, and local levels of the American Legion and 40 et 8 are in the collection. Lynaugh's role in graves registration for the Legion is documented through cemetery listings and maps. Other materials in the collection relate to Lynaugh's World War II homefront activities and include Civil Defense schedules from the University of Wisconsin-Madison, political fliers from the 1940 presidential election, and programs for Memorial Day celebrations in Madison. Photographs in this collection are almost entirely unidentified and include shots of an American Legion parade and various pictures of soldiers and dead bodies from World War I. |

The majority of the papers cover the mid-1960s to the early 1970s, with the emphasis on the varied social movements and radical activities with which they were affiliated rather than the Lynds themselves. Articles and writings, correspondence, and clippings and other printed matter refer to campus protests of the 1960s; civil rights; the Vietnam War; tax reform; the Kennedy assassination; Jobs or Income Now (JOIN), a group which sought to organize the poor in Chicago; union organizing, especially among public employees in the Chicago and Gary, Indiana, area; the Mass Party Organizing Committee, a group which attempted to formulate a mass, Leninist, working-class party; and the New American Movement, a group which sought to build a mass-based democratic socialist movement in the United States. Includes materials related to Rank and File, a book about ordinary people in the labor movement on which the Lynds worked. There are also files on Staughton Lynd's attempt to bring a leftist perspective to the historical profession and to the American Historical Association. |
