    Paperback. Zustand: new. Paperback. The story of the youngest enlisted soldier to die during the American Civil War. In early April 1861, the streets of West Chester, PA, echoed with the sound of a rattling snare drum. The orders it marked out could be heard for blocks around about face, advance, retreat, company rest but there were no troops in the city to hear it. The Civil War, though it loomed heavy on the minds of everyone in the nation, had not yet begun. Fort Sumter would remain in Union hands for another two weeks and the secession crisis in the south was yet still only a war of words.? But on the one hundred block of Barnard Street, the children had already mustered. The children were already marching. And Charley King, a boy of only 11, was leading them. In a matter of days, the war would start in earnest. In just a few months, Charley would march with the 49th Pennsylvania Infantry into the heat of battle. And in just under a year and a half, he would become the youngest enlisted soldier to die in the American Civil War. Charley marched with Company F, tapping out the cadence and relaying orders as they fought in the ill-fated Peninsula Campaign, traveled in the long slog through Maryland during Robert E. Lee's first invasion of the North, and faced down enemy artillery in the woods north of Sharpsburg at Antietam Creek. That battle remains the bloodiest day in American history. Charley and twenty-two thousand other Americans were killed or wounded that day. Charley's final resting place is unknown, but he is memorialised in West Chester at Greenmount Cemetery where his mother and father are buried. Using a wide range of sources, this unique history reconstructs Charley's short life and the tragedy of his claim as the youngest soldier to die in the American Civil War. AUTHOR: Brendan Lyons grew up just north of West Chester in Downingtown, PA. He has a degree in History Education from Villanova University. In 2004 as part of his Eagle Scout project, Lyons took up the cause of funding and building a monument to Charley, which now stands in Greenmount Cemetery in West Chester. 5 photographs The story of the youngest enlisted soldier to die during the American Civil War. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
