David Trimble

David C. Trimble is a graduate of the University of Kentucky (B.S. 1979, J.D. 1982) and is now an attorney practicing in Lexington, KY. A life-long student of the War Between the States, Trimble discovered collateral ancestor Gen. I.R. Trimble on a trip to Gettysburg as a child and over the years sought to gather more information on him. Stunned that out of the hundreds of biographies of WBTS figures none existed on Gen. Trimble, David started researching in earnest and in 2006 published his biography entitled Furious, Insatiable Fighter. David is also an avid Civil War living historian and reenactor who, when not appearing as Gen. I.R. Trimble with Lee's Lieutenants, rides as a sergeant with the 4th Kentucky Cavalry. In addition to Furious, Insatiable Fighter, David is a weekly columnist in his local newspaper, an avid blogger, and author of a novel about the abduction and murder of an Episcopal Bishop, Lest Ye Be Judged.
