520 _a"The Recollections of a Drummer-Boy" by Henry Martyn Kieffer is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The book details the personal experiences of a young drummer boy, Harry M. Kieffer, who served in the Civil War, recounting his journey from enlistment through various military campaigns. It aims to depict life in the army through the eyes of a child, highlighting both the nobility and the harsh realities of war. At the start of the narrative, Kieffer introduces Harry, a restless schoolboy who longs to join the war effort as the Civil War unfolds around him. The opening passages describe his conversations with friends reflecting on the absence of older boys in school, indicating their enlistment. Eventually, Harry, fueled by excitement and the influence of peers, finds himself determined to join the army, despite his father’s hesitations. Before long, he receives permission to enlist as a drummer boy, setting the stage for his adventures, trials, and growth throughout his military journey. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
