Frederick Augustus Aiken (September 20, 1832 – December 23, 1878) was an American lawyer, journalist and soldier.

==Biography==
Information on Aiken's early life is largely unknown; his date of birth, city of birth, and even his full name varies depending on source. His official birth records, as well as the 1840 and 1850 census records, indicate that he was born Frederick Augustus Aiken on September 20, 1832, in Lowell, Massachusetts, to Susan (née Rice) and Solomon S. Aiken.〔(The American Film Company | Films )〕 His Find a Grave entry indicates his full name was Frederick Argyle Aiken, and that he was born in 1837 in Shrewsbury, Massachusetts,〔http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gr&GRid=39589509〕 while his obituary in ''The Washington Post'' - also using the middle name "Argyle" and the 1837 birth year - claims he was born in Boston.〔(Frederick A. Aiken biography | This Week in the Civil War )〕
The family moved to Hardwick, Vermont when Aiken was ten years old. He attended Middlebury College where he studied journalism, and later became editor of the ''Burlington Sentinel''. Aiken married Sarah Weston, daughter of a Vermont judge, on June 1, 1857. In 1859 he was admitted to the Vermont bar, and in 1860 the Aikens moved to Washington, D.C., where Aiken served as secretary to the Democratic National Committee and supported the candidacy of Vice President John C. Breckinridge in the 1860 presidential election. When the Civil War began, Aiken also wrote a letter to Jefferson Davis, offering his services to the Confederacy as a reporter.〔
