The Boys' War

First-hand accounts culled from diary entires and personal letters describe the experiences of the Civil War's youngest participants. Readers will learn about the war from the perspective of boys ages 16 and younger, who served as soldiers, telegraphers, buglers, and drummers. The book also touches on what life was like for these boys after the war ended, with a special emphasis on its long-lasting emotional effects. Illustrated with archival photographs.
