Thousands of loyal patriots gave up their lives upon the battlefield and left widows and orphans to the tender mercies of charity. The boy of Shiloh, too young to carry a musket, but too patriotic to remain at home, entered the service as a drummer. With patriotic fervor he beat his drum and led the brave boys into battle. A stray bullet finally silenced the drum and the drummer. His last dying thought was of his mother and her teachings.
