Recently I read, Nothing but Victory: The Army of the Tennessee 1861-1865 by Steven Woodworth, and the story of Howe made it into that amazing study. It is funny that an event like this, which I laugh about now and always tell my 8th grade students, can lead me to write a blog post on the very person in that book. Due to the distraction caused by Howe's exploits, I at least got The Patriot on VHS out of the tragedy, which I promptly wore out over the years. You can imagine how thirteen year old me felt walking into school the next day. Said barber ended up shaving my whole head except my bangs while my dad read about Orion Howe. I remember exactly when I read this book because it is the book that distracted my dad while he took me to a cheap barber to save a few bucks.

Howe, a drummer in the 55th Illinois during the Vicksburg Campaign. This book chronicled the heroic efforts of Orion P. In the spring of 2001, I picked up The Drummer Boy of Vicksburg. Clifton Wisler, including one on the 2nd Texas at Shiloh, a drummer boy from Vermont during the Peninsula Campaign, and Red Cap, the story of a drummer boy at Andersonville. I read just about every book written by G.

I mostly stuck with historical fiction, as those got me the Accelerated Reader points I was required to have every nine weeks. That year, when I was in 7th grade, I began to read every book in my school's library that had anything to do with the Civil War. Thirteen is the age that you could say that I really became enamored with the history of the Civil War, and the people who experienced it.
