Nelson Shepherd Found
After a thorough investigation involving hundreds of soldiers, Kochersperger narrowed down to three different writers and one of them was named Nelson Shepherd. Kochersperger described Shepherd “I identified with him as a boy off to see the world,” and “I could also identify with his parents since I have five kids of my own.” Kochersperger saw points of commonality between him and Nelson’s parents but one needs to wonder if Kochersperger’s children were as troublesome as Nelson Shepherd was in his growing days.
