About the author

This work is credited to California. Infantry. First Regiment. Company B, the corporate author name used for the City Guard history published in 1895. Library and Project Gutenberg records identify it as a group-authored account rather than a conventional single-author book.

The book, commonly titled The "City Guard": A History of Company "B" First Regiment Infantry, N. G. C., recounts the unit's role during the Sacramento campaign of July 3–26, 1894, and also looks back to the company's origins on March 31, 1854. Catalog records connected with the volume also name contributors including George Filmer, A. McCulloch, W. J. Hayes, William D. O'Brien, and Irving Cook.

Because the credited author is a military company rather than one clearly documented individual, there is no confirmed single personal biography to give here. In that sense, the real "author" is the unit itself: a community preserving its own memory in print.
