Norman Mingledorff (1877-deceased) was about 12 yrs old when he was gifted this book. I could not find much information on Norman. He was a nephew of Norman Mingledorff, also of Effingham County, who passed away from pneumonia 8 months after enlisting with Maxwell's Regular Light Battery, Georgia Artillery.
