About the author

Joseph W. Grant is credited as the author of Stop the Presses! I Want to Get Off!: A Brief History of the Prisoners' Digest International, published by Michigan State University Press in 2012. Sources describing the book say he was the founder and publisher of Prisoners' Digest International, which connects his writing to prison publishing and grassroots media.

Public book listings also associate his name with The Flying Regiment; Journalistic Incidents and Reminiscences of the Civil War and My First Campaign. Because online catalog and bookseller records do not clearly separate his own original work from later reprints and historical attributions, it is safest to say that the strongest confirmed detail is his connection to Stop the Presses! I Want to Get Off! and to the history of Prisoners' Digest International.

A suitable verified portrait was not clearly available from the sources I checked, so no profile image is included.
