I'm not real sure just where to post this. But it is possible a photo or two will come in. Why is it that stories and pictures about drummer boys are always literally about " boys in blue"? Did not the Confederate Army use drums as well? I'm guessing just a whole lot less photography.


I have a few images of them I've always been too chicken to post in case they weren't- there's this idea there aren't many, you know? I think you're correct, there are just fewere images of Confederate soldiers across the board. NOW I'll be tooling through Millers to spot drummers! You just know they're there.

Would this boy have been related to THE Mosby in some way?
