David Frakes Day, Civil War hero and notorious frontier newspaperman

"After the start of the Civil War David Frakes Day told the "patriotic lie" when he falsified his age and enlisted in 57th Ohio Volunteer Infantry. Day's postwar career as a journalist in Colorado proved no less treacherous. In this biography, Day takes his rightful place among the intriguing figures of the Civil War and the American West"--Provided by publisher.
