About the author

Albert Plummer was an American physician and legislator who lived from August 9, 1840, to March 20, 1912. Sources identify him with Minnesota public life, and book listings connect him with History of the Forty-eighth Regiment, M.V.M. during the Civil War, a work that reflects his close connection to the regiment and its story.

That mix of roles helps explain why his writing still draws interest. He was not only recording events from a distance; he had experience in professional service and public responsibility, which gives his historical work a grounded, firsthand character.

For listeners interested in Civil War memoirs and regimental histories, his work offers more than dates and battles. It comes from someone whose life touched medicine, military service, and government, making his perspective especially valuable for readers who enjoy history told by people who lived it.
