About the Author

Perhaps ancestry and chronological luck influenced my life-long Civil War passion. Fifty years later, I started writing “Maine at War,” envisioned as a monthly BDN column about the Maine men and women involved in the Civil War. Meeting these folks as I researched their stories, I realized that Maine sent hero upon hero upon hero — soldiers, nurses, sailors, chaplains, physicians — south to preserve their country. Be prepared: As I discover to this very day, the facts taught in American classrooms don’t always jive with Civil War reality.
