Kevin H. Siepel writes on personal, historical, and environmental themes. His benchmark biography of Confederate cavalry officer John S. Mosby has proven durable, as has his biography of western New York state pioneer Joseph Bennett, which also broke new ground. Siepel's essays and articles have appeared in the Christian Science Monitor, Foreign Service Journal, Civil War, Wild West, two Chicken Soup for the Soul volumes, and elsewhere. One of his Monitor essays was translated into several languages and published worldwide by Readers Digest. Siepel lives in western New York state.
