DRUMMER BOYS

DRUMMER BOYS

In the Civil War, young boys were drafted into the military to play the drum for the soldiers. Not only did the beat of the drum give the soldiers a steady marching pace, but the big sounds of the drum were also used for cues, instead of yelling. The Drummer Boys of the Civil War, were mostly teenage, ranging specifically in age from about 13-16, just young enough to not be involved in the full-on fighting.
