    THE COLORADO MAGAZINE Published bi-monthly by The State Historical Society of Colorado Vol. XIX Denver, Colorado, November, 1942 No. 6 Lewis Ledyard Weld and Old Camp Weld LEROY R. HAFEN The first Secretary of Colorado Territory and the man who designed the official Seal of Colorado is a rather shadowy char­ acter in the history of the state. The name of this man, Lewis Ledyard Weld, was given to one of our largest conn ties and was applied to the Civil \Var post established near Denver in 1861. But Secretary Weld left Colorado in 1863 and died two years later as a Union officer in the war between the states. 'l'oday he is hardly known in the state he served. It has taken no little searching to gather the fragments for the brief biographical sketch presented here. Lewis Ledyard Weld, the third son of Lewis Weld and l\fary A. (Cogswell) Weld, was born at Hartford, Connecticut, May 1 13, 1833 • On his mother's side he was related to the famous explorer and traveler, John Ledyard, 2 hence his middle name. Young Lewis attended Yale College and graduated in the class of 1854.3 From October, 1854, to June, 1855, he served as a private tutor in Burlington, New Jersey. He taught school in Cleveland, Ohio, from Ju)y to December, 1855, and at the same time began the study of law in the office of Hiram Griswold. This study he continued in New York City in 1856 and 1857, spending part of 1 F rom '"Personal Statistics, Class of 1854" (Yale University Library), copy s upplied by Anne S.

As its title indicates, it is simply a Supplement to the General Register published in 1902. The Committee ap- pointed by the Council began its work immediately on its appointment in the hope that the work would be finished and the book distributed among the State Societies by early summer ; a hope that has not been realized because of long delays on the part of a few State Secretaries in transmitting to the Committee desired information. Indeed, the first half of the last month of summer had passed before all of the reports had been received. A supplement is in many respects an uninteresting and unsatisfactory book to edit; but the Committee trusts that the volume it now places in the hands of the members of the Society will meet the object sought in the action of the Council, viz. : to furnish the names of those who have joined the Society since the Register was issued, together with accompanying genealogical data. An alphabetical list of all members of the Society, July 1, 1906, will, it is thought, give additional interest and value to the book.
