About the author
Project Gutenberg lists Henry Myron Kendall as the author of The Battle of Stone River, a short historical work about the American Civil War. Modern catalog and bookseller pages also consistently attribute that title to him, but they offer very little firmly sourced background beyond the name itself.
Because dependable biographical records were not readily available in the sources reviewed here, it is safest to describe Kendall as an obscure historical author whose surviving reputation rests mainly on this battle narrative. For listeners interested in Civil War writing, that makes his work feel less like a standard biography-driven classic and more like a period piece that has survived through preservation projects and digital archives.
