Autorenporträt
John Mead Gould (1839-1930) was a distinguished American author, military historian, and accountant, renowned for his contributions to Civil War literature and his meticulous record-keeping. Born on December 19, 1839, in Portland, Maine, Gould cultivated a keen interest in both military affairs and the great outdoors from an early age. His scholarly endeavors led to the penning of 'How to Camp Out' (1877), a seminal guidebook for outdoor enthusiasts that encapsulates his pragmatic and methodical approach to wilderness excursions. Gould's literary style in this work is precise and didactic, reflecting his background as both a soldier and an accountant. This practical treatise remains a reference point for camping and survival skills, blending historical context with timeless advice on outdoor living. Beyond 'How to Camp Out,' Gould's oeuvre is characterized by a dedication to detail and accuracy, traits that not only define his camping manual but also his historical accounts of military events. His narratives are infused with a first-hand understanding of military life, as he himself served as a member of the 10th Maine Volunteer Infantry Regiment during the Civil War. After the war, Gould continued to document his experiences and historical research, contributing significantly to the compilation of a comprehensive history of his regiment. His works are now valued resources for historians and enthusiasts of American history, particularly those interested in the Civil War era and the evolution of outdoor recreation.
