About the author
Samuel K. Ellis is identified in book records as Samuel Kimball Ellis, one of the contributors to The Twenty-fifth Regiment Connecticut Volunteers in the War of the Rebellion. That work gathers history, reminiscences, battle descriptions, and a roster for the regiment, making his surviving legacy closely tied to Civil War remembrance.
Available sources suggest he was a veteran of the Twenty-fifth Connecticut Volunteers and later took part in preserving the regiment's story for future readers. Because reliable biographical details beyond his connection to that book are limited in the sources I could confirm, it is safest to describe him as a soldier-writer whose known work centers on documenting the experiences of his fellow servicemen.
For listeners interested in personal and historical perspectives on the American Civil War, Ellis stands out less as a widely profiled literary figure and more as a firsthand witness who helped turn memory into record.
