A Young Hero of Gettysburg by George Kimball Reading N. A. Trudeau's Gettysburg - A Testing of Courage, I came across a passage about a young local boy just going to the camp of the army at Emmitsburg and volunteering to "fight the rebels".
This was intriguing to me so I looked up the source. It is from the 'New Century Magazine' You can find it at this link: http://cdl.library.cornell.edu/cgi-b...ames=1&view=50
A small, touching story.
