It is difficult to imagine a better biography of Lew Wallace than Stephens’s being written for a long, long time. Stephens’s biography of Wallace focuses on his service during the Civil War, specifically his actions at Shiloh and his subsequent efforts to clear his name of any wrongdoings. Wallace’s decision to fight at Monocacy also features prominently.
