About this ebook
Dr. Verel R. Salmon
Dr. Verel Salmon grew up hearing stories of his ancestor, First Sergeant George Washington Salmon, who fought in the American Civil War. A teacher, school district administrator and farmer, Common Men is the culmination of thirty years of his research which carried him from archives to attics to retracing the journey the 145th Regiment of Pennsylvania Volunteer Infantry from stifling marches to camp life to explosive fields of battle. Married with four children and a growing number of grandchildren, Salmon maintains his ties to the soil as did most of the young recruits who responded to Lincoln's calf for troops.
