The American order was destroyed by the [[Knight of Hell]] -- Abaddon -- on August 12, 1958.
In 1958 , the demon [[Abaddon]], one of the last of the [[Knights of Hell]], started a campaign to create new demons loyal only to her by stealing people's [[souls]]. When Men of Letters initiates [[Henry Winchester]] and [[Josie Sands]] uncover her activity. They are unable to exorcise the powerful Abaddon, who knocks out Henry. Abaddon decided to possess Henry so she can infiltrate the Men of Letters. However, Josie asks Abaddon to possess her instead to spare him, telling Abaddon she would be more useful as people underestimate a woman.<ref name="nine17">[[9.17 Mother's Little Helper]]</ref>
On the eve of Henry and Josie's initiation, Abaddon massacres the Illinois chapter while trying to obtain the [[Key to the Bunker|key to the Men of Letters Bunker]]. [[Larry Ganem]], one of the survivors of the massacre gives the key to Henry for safe keeping. Henry uses magic to create a portal which takes him to the year 2013, but would be followed by Abaddon. It appears there were simultaneous attacks on most American chapters of the order at the same time, or Abaddon had wiped them out prior to the induction ceremony.
In 1958 [[Abaddon]], one of the [[Knights of Hell]], was sent by party or parties unknown to kill the members of the group who were gathered in Normal, Illinois. They were gathered for the initiation of [[Henry Winchester]] and [[Josie Sands]].
After possessing Josie, Abaddon killed David Ackers and Ted Bowen, and blinded [[Larry Ganem]]. She then went on to burn down their quarters before following Henry through the portal created by his [[blood spell]], which took him to 2013. Henry has with him [[The Box]] - which contains the [[Key to the Bunker]] - which contains where all the knowledge the Men of Letters have collected. It is later learned that the organization has been disbanded after the Abaddon incident. The only known survivors of that incident were Henry and Larry, but both of them were killed by Abaddon in her search for the Box in 2013.
