D. H. Fletcher

D. H. Fletcher is credited as a co-author of The History of Company A, Second Illinois Cavalry, a firsthand Civil War history created with Samuel H. Fletcher. The book was written as a tribute to the soldiers of Company A and to the cause they believed they were fighting for.

Reliable public sources located here confirm the collaboration, but they offer very little personal background about D. H. Fletcher beyond that authorship. Because of that, it is safest to describe D. H. Fletcher as an author associated with preserving the memory of an Illinois cavalry company and its wartime service, rather than to add biographical details that cannot be confirmed.

Today, the work remains accessible through public-domain and audiobook archives, which has helped keep this fragment of Civil War memory in circulation for modern audiences.
