About this title

About the Author:

J. Scott Payne is a retired newspaper reporter and editor whose career began at the Kansas City Star. He served a hitch as an Army counterintelligence agent in Korea, Vietnam and Washington, D.C., a field requiring identical skills. You ask. You listen. You write. Work on A Corporal No More unconsciously began even earlier as Scott heard his grandfather’s accounts of his own father’s Civil War experiences. Years later, approaching retirement, Scott accreted more and more information to assemble a family history so future generations might know their heritage. During that time he discovered that great-grand pappy’s regiment fought at Little Round Top right beside the 20th Maine, the focal regiment of Michael Shaara’s Killer Angels. That novel about a Renaissance man and leader inspired A Corporal No More – the tale of an ordinary rifleman at the tip of the spear.
