Autorenporträt

James M. Smith II first became interested in the Battle of Gettysburg as a thirteen-year-old on a family trip. Growing up in Pennsylvania made it easy for him to visit the site several times a year. With each visit, his passion grew. Smith has since become the lead historian of the Jefferson Township Historical Society and Curator of its museum. He spends much of his time researching the genealogy of the citizens of the township while maintaining a focus on the Civil War. In his spare time, Smith collects Civil War artifacts and researches his own family's genealogy. He enjoys being outdoors, lecturing at local schools, and documenting historical occurrences of Jefferson Township, Pennsylvania.
