Richard Lytle is the local history librarian at the Hammond Public Library and an officer of the Hammond Historical Society. He has previously published two books on military history--The Soldiers of America's First Army: 1791 and The Old Guard in 1898--and has been eager to write this book since taking on his post at the library eight years ago and gaining access to its collection of unpublished train wreck photos.
