About the author

John Lockwood (1825 or 1826–1901) was an American author whose surviving books show an unusually wide range. He wrote Our Campaign Around Gettysburg, a firsthand memorial of the Twenty-Third Regiment during the 1863 campaign, and he also published poetry collections including The Silent Dormitory and Other Poems and The River: A Song of Human Life.

Library and digitized-book records also link him to educational works such as A Primer of Language and An Aid-Book in Elementary English Grammar. Taken together, those titles suggest a writer comfortable moving between history, verse, and instruction.

Very little easy-to-confirm biographical detail appears in the sources I found beyond his dates and his published works. What does come through clearly is a writer who left behind both a soldier's record of experience and a quieter body of poetic and teaching-focused work.
