"After the start of the Civil War David Frakes Day told the "patriotic lie" when he falsified his age and enlisted in 57th Ohio Volunteer Infantry. Day's postwar career as a journalist in Colorado proved no less treacherous. In this biography, Day takes his rightful place among the intriguing figures of the Civil War and the American West"--Provided by publisher.
