G. W. (George W.) Lewis

Little is firmly documented here beyond the record attached to his book, but G. W. Lewis is identified in library and archive catalogs as George W. Lewis, born 1837. He is known for The Campaigns of the 124th Regiment, Ohio Volunteer Infantry, with Roster and Roll of Honor, published in the late 19th century.

That work is a regimental history of the American Civil War, centered on the 124th Ohio Volunteer Infantry. It combines narrative history with rosters and commemorative material, suggesting a writer deeply interested in preserving the memory of fellow soldiers and the events they lived through.

Because reliable biographical information appears to be scarce in the sources available here, it is safest to remember him primarily as a veteran-author whose book helped document one Union regiment’s experience for later generations.
