Willie might be too young to be a fighter, but he's brave enough to be a drummer.

Ten-year-old Willie Johnston is too young to be a soldier in Mr. Lincoln's army. So he joins as a drummer boy, instead. Part of Willie's job is rousing the troops in the morning with his drum—the other part is being the last to retreat in battles. In this true story, Willie shows he's brave enough to keep beating his drum, but will he be lucky enough to survive the war?

"Scrupulously researched and overflowing with evocative detail . . . Willie's tale is authentic and engaging."—Kirkus Reviews

I bought this for my grandson, who's is 9 years old and very much interested in Lincoln and anything to do with it. He is really enjoying it and is learning much about the civil war along with it. My specific intention was to start familiarizing him with the Civil War and to start peaking his interest. This book is doing exactly what I wanted..

One of the best novels I have read about the Civil War and the youngest person to ever be awarded the Medal of Honor. It is a true story told in novel form. Once I started reading it, I couldn't put it down until I had finished it.
