About the Author

Born into a rich heritage of Virginia patriots, my 4th great grandfather, Gov Thomas Nelson, Jr., Signer of the Declaration of Independence, and others active in Virginia history. I love history and wrote the History of the 318 Field Hospital to honor my grandfather, Maj (Dr) Hugh Thomas Nelson, Jr., who I never met, as well as honoring his men. I traveled to France to see the land his unit operated and participated in the Great War.
