About the author

S. Alonzo Ranlett is credited as one of the authors of History of the Thirty-sixth Regiment Massachusetts Volunteers, 1862–1865, a collaborative regimental history written with Henry S. Burrage, Alonzo A. White, William H. Hodgkins, and Edmund W. Noyes.

Reliable biographical information about Ranlett himself appears to be scarce in the sources I could confirm. What can be said with confidence is that his name remains tied to this Civil War volume, which preserves the experiences of the 36th Massachusetts and continues to be cataloged by Project Gutenberg and booksellers as a work by this group of contributors.

Because solid, sourceable personal details were limited, it is better to treat him as a little-documented historical co-author rather than overstate the record.
