Wilful Awful Stanley is the name that Richard J. Mapes stole from a dead soldier in the Civil War because he wanted out of one branch of the military and to be in another branch. This is documented by original letters of identity verification that was written on his behalf. I believe that he is buried in Atchison County, KS
