drummer boy

Greenbush, Wisconsin

My friend Michael has shown his photo from Shiloh of the stone of the little drummer boy. Boys as young as 12 years old were recruited for the Civil War. They were right out in the front line and in harms way. It is very sad to think about that.

That image brings it home, doesn't it? Well seen!

Oh I love this. I'm wondering what it would look like in sepia or black and white.

A beautiful shot indeed Cindy.

By the way, my dear friend, I am deeply touched by your reference to my photograph. This young man represents many of those who saw the horror of those awful days...and never returned home the same...or never returned home... God bless them.

Reminds me of the headstone I shot at Shiloh this summer. Could have been him..

Very good get up he has, so much care with all the details. Perhaps he has done it too often before to get too excited

A touching story and photograph, Cindy. He doesn't look all that thrilled, either.

A beautiful image Cindy. lt's a tragedy that people of any age, really, get caught up in wars made by other people.
