About the author

Leander Stillwell

1843–1934

Best known for a vivid memoir of Civil War service, this Illinois-born veteran wrote with the plainspoken detail of someone who had truly lived the history he described. After the war, he built a life in Kansas as a lawyer and judge while preserving the memories that made his book endure.
