About Frederick R. Adolphus
Fred has been passionate
about the Confederacy since the early 1960s. His grandfather, Ray
Cooke, sparked his interest in the Civil War with Centennial toy
soldiers. The author fondly recalls his grandfather intoning,“Our
people were the gray ones, the Southerners.” His father, Judge Jim
Adolphus, fanned those childhood sparks by providing Fred with books
about the Confederacy and through their attendance at Sons of
Confederate Veterans meetings in Houston, Texas. Fred eventually
focused his historical interest on Confederate uniforms, especially
those of the Trans-Mississippi Confederacy.
Fred is a native Texian, born in Houston. He graduated with honors from New Mexico Military Institute and received his degree in History at Texas A&M. Fred successfully completed the US Army’s Airborne and Ranger schools, and then served as a Field Artillery officer in Germany. He is presently the director of the Fort Polk US Army Museum, and has worked in the Army Museum system since 1996. Fred is also a member of the Sons of Confederate Veterans, Sons of the American Revolution, American Legion, Company of Military Historians, and has served on many local historic site boards as a consultant and director. (From the foreword by Thomas Arliskas)
Fred is currently working on his master's degree in history and has begun writing the second book in this series.
