George G. Kundahl tells us that John Morris Wampler was "a variety of everyman" (p. 274) whose experiences as a Confederate topographical engineer shed new light on the generals above him in rank and the foot soldiers below. Kundahl's biography of his great-great-grandfather is a sterling example of diligent history. He has meticulously stitched together an obscure life from diaries, letters, and government records. His careful documentation of Wampler's wartime duties is sure to interest those who study Civil War reconnaissance, ordnance, fortification, and the battles in which Wampler engaged. The text is lean, intelligent, and for the most part well documented
