Orlando Bolivar Wilcox, a United States Military Academy graduate, led the 1st Michigan Volunteer Infantry during the American Civil War and showed notable bravery at the First Battle of Bull Run. Though a Medal of Honor recipient and writer, he remains relatively overlooked. His novel, published as Major March, reflects his experiences and adds depth to his legacy.
