Henry Myron Kendall

Serving as a lieutenant colonel in the Union Army, he fought in the American Civil War and later wrote about the conflict from direct experience. He is best known for The Battle of Stone River, a memoir-like history that draws on what he saw in the field.

He has also been associated with writing on other major Tennessee campaigns, including Franklin and Nashville. That combination of military service and eyewitness storytelling gives his work a practical, ground-level feel that can be especially compelling for listeners interested in Civil War history.

Available records identify him as Henry Myron Kendall, who lived from 1838 to 1912. While detailed biographical information appears limited in the sources I found, the surviving record clearly connects his name with Union service and Civil War writing.
