REFERENCES: DORN Me #14; COULTER 283: "This account written from memory fifteen years after the war, contains little description or local color, but offers a few travel observations. After the war Lapham became well known as a pyhsican, journalist, and for books on local history and genealogy." NEVINS I pg 119: "In spite of the fact that the author achieved postwar fame as a physician and writer, his memoirs of service in two Maine units is an empty chronicle of the Eastern campaigns.".
