"In our last installment we looked at drums made during World War II. Let's hop back into our time machine and dial in 1861, the beginning of the American Civil War. Unlike WWII, when, by that time, most Americans believed that war was an unpleasant and remote tragedy, the Civil War was initially embraced with an inexperienced, intense, sometimes romantic interest. It was your basic, "How are you going to keep them down on the farm?" The Civil War offered bored young men toiling in the fields the adventure and excitement they yearned for. Though the legal enlistment/conscription age at that time was 16 years old, younger boys often falsified birth certificates or simply lied about their age to recruiting officers with a less than discernable eye. Those who couldn't pass as 16 did, however, have a recourse: they could enlist as drummer boys. "I wanted to fight the Rebs," a 12-year-old boy wrote, "but I was very small and they would not give me a musket. The next day I went back and the man behind the desk said I looked as if I could hold a drum and if I wanted I could join that way. I did, but I was not happy to change a musket for a stick."…"

That explains why no ICBMs were successfully used during the ACW! |
