Books by Mark H. Dunkelman

Lying dead in Gettysburg with no identification, a lone Union soldier was named the "Unknown Soldier." Dunkelman weaves the story of Sgt. Humiston, his widow, and his children who struggled the rest of their lives.

Using many previously untapped sources, this book tells the tale of 19th-century war, sentiment, and popular culture in greater detail than ever before. The Humiston story touched deep emotions in Civil War America, and inspired a flood of heartfelt prose, poetry, and song.
