Richard Wayne Lykes

Richard Wayne Lykes was an American author remembered for writing about the Civil War, especially the campaign for Petersburg. Book records and bookseller listings connect him with works including Campaign for Petersburg and Petersburg National Military Park.

Available records also indicate that he lived from 1919 to 1996. While detailed biographical information appears to be limited in the sources I could confirm, his published work shows a clear interest in presenting Petersburg's wartime history for a broad audience.
