A Former Methodist Preacher And Missouri Schoolteacher, Kelso Served As A Union Army Foot Soldier, Cavalry Officer, Guerilla Fighter, And Spy.

Interweaving Kelso’s Compelling Voice With Historian Christopher Grasso’s Insightful Commentary, This Fascinating Work Charts The Transformation Of An Everyday Citizen Into A Man The Union Hailed As A Hero And Confederate Sympathizers Called A Monster.--provided By Amazon.com.
