About: Thomas Desjardin
An American historian, Desjardin has written books on the American Civil War and American Revolutionary War. He also served as director of Maine's State Park system and as Maine's Commissioner of the Department of Education. His first book, Stand Firm Ye Boys from Maine: The 20th Maine and the Gettysburg Campaign, recounts the three-day Battle of Gettysburg through the eyes of the men in the 20th Maine regiment. These soldiers were noted for their outstanding bravery during the campaign, which many remember as the most important battle of the Civil War. Leonne M. Hudson, reviewing the book in the Historian, felt that Desjardin's "use of anecdotal material combined with his penchant to allow the volunteers to speak for themselves gives this monograph a human quality." Hudson called the book "a splendid regimental history" that is "thoroughly researched," concluding that Stand Firm Ye Boys from Maine "should take its place among the best unit histories on the Battle of Gettysburg.
