Drummers of War.

The soldiers stood at ridged attention, as the battle line held, from off in the distant a faint signal could be heard. The soldiers ears first picked up a "low rumble," but as the sound rode the gentle waves of a breeze each soldier could make out the rhythm of a drum. At first the beat was a slow roll, but as the battle line inched forward.....that slow roll of a beat changed again.....and then as if by signal battle lines began to form first on the left.....and then in a short moment to the right. Then, as if all were given a command, the eyes of each soldier cast a glance towards the General, whom was astride a gentle, but mighty gray horse, and next to this impressive image of a General and his mighty stead, stood a small boy.....The General cast his eyes upon the small boy....and immediately the beating of the drum began as a slow roll.....then faster, and faster. As all of this was taking place the soldiers on the lines began to move around uneasily.....shifting....twitching.......and then as quick as the rhythm quicken.....it stopped! In that instant..........an ear splitting "Yell" suppressed all else......and the mass of soldiers moved forward in great numbers. The battle began....for two hours battle sounds could be heard for miles....cannon shots, musket fire....and yes, even screams of the dying......and even if a soldier had the time to glance toward their General.....his mind and eyes would register that the small boy that was standing next to the General....his hands was moving.....but no sound was riding the waves to the soldiers ears. So.......without sound.....orders and battle direction to the fighting soldier....was lost....confusion, disarray, and general disorganization came quickly, but through the smoke, and haze of battle the soldiers seen their General atop his mighty stead waving his sword.....and all fell to the rear. Later that afternoon....resting from the battle.....one soldier ambled around the camp inquiring about the "young boy drummer".....he happened upon a group of fellows soldiers....and was told the young boy drummer had fell during the third round of fire............ The soldier was deeply saddened..........as were all.............the boy being all of 14 yrs old.....young for any military encounter.....but still he was highly regarded as a "fighting soldier....as were all that were left standing."

Note. The above story was first wrote by this author, however I felt it could be better so I give it to a very good friend of mine ( Bud Shortridge ) who was so kind to do its rewrite, thanks again Bud.

This story is not true but it happen over and over again in real life, so much so, that in 1789, the War Department was trying to get it changed. The drummers part was so dangerous that they were given additional pay. The War Department found too many men who were fit to be soldiers and too many boys hardly able to bear arms are put into the ranks, and the Commanding officers of Corps have not the power of remedying this evil without violating the engagement of the men enlisted as drummers or fifers. The department put a report to Congress that stated that: For the future no recruit should be engaged as drummer or fifer; the commanding officers of Corps should be authorized to employ such of their men on that duty from time to time as shall be most proper and that the additional pay to such who shall be so employed hereafter shall be appropriated to the repair of their drums and fifes. Also that the number of men employed on that duty in any Corps, shall not exceed the proportion allowed the respective Corps in the establishment.
Resolved, That in future no recruit shall be enlisted to serve as a drummer or fifer. When such are wanted, they shall be taken from the soldiers of the corps, in such numbers and of such description as the Commander in Chief or the commanding officer of a seperate army shall direct, and be returned back and others drawn out as often as the good of the service shall make necessary. That all drummers and fifers, after being supplied each with a good drum and fife, shall keep the same in repair by stoppages from his pay, in such manner as the commanding officer of the corps shall order. Little was to change for when the Civil War broke out. Boys way to young were being enlisted and too many men fit to be soldiers.

The intent of this page is to help you find out if that family story is true about your ancestor being a drummer in the war. I will cover all three Wars, the Revolutionary War, War of 1812 and the Civil War. There may not be a lot of information next to the name but if you see an ancestors name, you will at lest know some of the stories were true.

Drummers of the Civil War.

The following is report of sick and wounded treated in the field hospitals during the month:
Remaining in hospital Admitted since February 28, 1865.
Officers. Enlisted men.
Here is part of that repost:

As a further preparation for anticipated active operations an application was made by the acting medical director to have the drummers and musicians of the command report at the commencement of the campaign to the surgeon in charge of the field hospital. It was acceded to. The surgeon in charge was directed to place them under command of the commissioned combatant officer attached to his hospital, who, with the assistance of two or three non-commissioned officers, was expected to keep up an efficient discipline among them, and when work of any description was to be performed by them to superintend its performance. During the campaign of 1864 although it was expected that during an engagement drummer boys and musicians would report to the hospital for duty, only a few of them did so, the majority straggling over the country and doing as they pleased, there being none to exercise any authority over them, to take notice of their absence and punish them for it; and the services of those that did report were of no value, since no one was specially intrusted with their direction. In fact they were looked upon rather as an incumbrance than as affording any assistance. those belonging to the First Division, however, were in a measure organized and disciplined, and were found to be useful in proportion as they were so, doing guard duty, and in time of need rendering very effective service as stretcher-carriers. This led to the application for the order at this time.

CHARLES SMART,
Asst. Surg., U. S. Army, Medical Inspector, Second Army Corps.

Drummer George Deverney, Company C, Fifth Wisconsin Volunteers, for distinguished services, April 2, 1865.

ENLISTMENT OF MINORS AS MUSICIANS.

The act of July 4, 1864, section 5, and the act of March 3, 1864, section 18, make it an offense to enlist any minor under the age of sixteen years. It is recommended that this act be modified so far as to authorize a limited number, say 100, of boys, not under twelve years, as musicians, provided the consent of parent or guardian is previously obtained. Until the passage of the act referred to a detachment of boys was kept under instruction at each of the recruiting depots. They were not only carefully trained as young soldiers and musicians-i. e., drummers, fifers, and buglers-but were well taught in the common school branches at the post school. Many of these boys have turned out good scholars and excellent soldiers, reaching, as their age matured, to the grades of non-commissioned, and even of commissioner officers.

RECRUITING SERVICE, 1862.

913. A recruiting party will consist generally of one lieutenant, one non-commissioned officer, two privates, and a drummer, and fiver. The parties will be sent from the principal depots, and none but suitable men selected.

Note. In the trial testimony of Captain Wirz, of Andersonville Prison. It was stated that he had helped fifty drummer boys get paroled so they would escape the horrors of the stockade.

The death of a drummer boy.
Action at Baxter Springs Kansas.

Part of a report by, B. S. HENNING,
Major Third Wisconsin Cavalry.

I returned to the brow of the hill in the direction of the first attack, and plainly saw the enemy engaged in sacking the wagons, and while there saw the band brutally murdered. At the time of the attack the band-wagon, containing 14 members of the brigade band, James O'Neal, special artist for Frank Leslie's pictorial newspaper, one young lad twelve years old (servant of the leader of the band), Henry Pellage, of Madison, Wis., and the driver, had undertaken to escape in a direction a little to the south of west, and made about half a mile when one of the wheels of the wagon ran off, and the wagon stopped on the brow of the hill in plain sight of where I stood. As the direction of the wagon was different from that in which most of the troops fled, it had not attracted such speedy attention, and the enemy had just got to it as I returned, giving me an opportunity to see every member of the band, Mr. O'Neal, the boy, and the driver shot, and their bodies thrown in or under the wagon and it fired, so that when we went to them, all were more or less burned and [the wagon] almost entirely consumed. The drummer-boy, a very interesting and intelligent lad, was shot and thrown under the wagon, and when the fire reached his clothes it must have brought returned consciousness, as he had crawled a distance of 30 yards, marking the course by bits of burning clothes and scorched grass, and was found dead with all his clothes burned off except the portion between his back and the ground as he lay upon his back.

Part of a report of W. H. RAYNOR, Lieutenant-Colonel, Commanding Fifty-sixth Ohio Regiment.
I answered this note in effect that our orders were to "return to Memphis as soon as the bridge was completed or as soon as General Sherman's division came up," and that I was now acting in obedience to that order and preparing to return. An orderly soon cam down with the information that the Fifty-second Indiana were coming to guard the bridge. After reaching the neighborhood of Colliersville and on down until this side of Germantown the enemy were hovering all around us, but our dispositions for defense probably deterred them from making an attack. Lewis H. Hamilton, acting hospital steward, and George Lowry, drummer, Company K, straggling to the front against positive orders, were captured by the enemy.

Part of a Report of D. D. T. COWEN, Lieut. Col., Comdg. Fifty-second Regiment Ohio Vol. Infantry

Sergeant Rudolph, of Company H, was conspicuous among others of the regiment in assisting at the battery. At 10 a. m. the Second Missouri Regiment charged past the right of our line of skirmishers upon a force of rebel infantry, and Private Samuel J. Marsh, of Company A, joined them in the pursuit. Charley Common, a little drummer-boy, having lost his drum, took a musket and fought manfully in the line.

FAIR OAKS STATION, VA. June 2, 1862.
Part of a report of Report of Lieutenant Colonel Patrick Kelly, Eighty-eighth New York Infantry.

Nor should I forget to mention a drummer-boy named George Funk, who acted most heroically during the engagement, and who followed closely on the track of the retreating rebels, bringing in a prisoner, whom he delivered to General Sumner.
