L'autore:

Ken Draper is a passionate Civil War historian and reenactor. His involvement began when he was doing genealogy on his own family and learned of the extensive involvement of his ancestors. He began reenacting in Colorado and after relocating back to Kansas and Missouri formed a unit reenacting the 2nd Colorado Cavalry and McLain's Battery and has been reenacting for 12 years. His passion carries over into his portrayals of Union officers and enlisted soldiers in living history presentations and other public speaking. He has trained all of his own mounts and has helped many reenactors get started in the hobby by loaning them uniforms and other items as needed. His home and farm have become a Civil War museum to family and friends. Ken has researched the Colorado units for over 8 years in the development of this book. Soldier diaries, official officer reports, newspaper articles, photographs, muster rolls, casualty lists, and personal research have been compiled into one comprehensive manuscript on all of the Colorado units. While more information is undoubtedly available, this book was printed at this time to honor the Colorado soldier during the 150th anniversaries of the engagements of these units. Ken plans on attending as many of the events as possible during this 4-year time span. While age and physical stamina are fading his desire to keep riding and participating and being one a few who are still willing and able to take hits mounted, he vows to continue to honor the Colorado soldiers in this endeavor.
