Default 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:

A small, touching story.
