LINCOLN'S BOLD LION: The Life and Times of Brigadier General Martin Davis Hardin

Providing more than a combat record, this biography of a remarkable young man also provides a walking tour through 1800s America. From his childhood in Illinois to surviving the Chicago Fire and his eventual obscurity, we see the progress of a century, and in this examination we see the undersung exploits of a true 19th century hero. 16 pages of photos.
