Company D

William Hogan Higgins had an oversized ego and an outsized personality. Traits that won him loyal followers but also many enemies, including the Governor of Maine. His rocky tenure with Company D of the Third Maine ended with a bullet wound to the leg, followed by a special assignment: adjutant at one of the most notorious Union prisons in the Civil War. A bombastic bully has his day on Company D.
