Youngest Civil War Drummer NCO Army PHOTO Lot, General John Clem, Johnny Shiloh

Description

Amazing Civil War & Historical Photographs!
While parts of the legend of
Johnny Shiloh
may not necessarily be historically accurate, the fact remains that little
John Clem
, DID in fact attempt to join the cause for the North at the age of 10 and was turned down. BUT he persisted and was accepted as a drummer boy at age 12!!!!
After the Battle of Chickamauga in 1863, Clem was promoted to sergeant, making him the
youngest non-commission officer ever
in the U.S. Army.
When he retired as a Brigadier General in 1915, Clem became the
last Civil War veteran
to retire from active duty.
Clem continued to move up in the ranks and received the following titles:
1874 First Lieutenant,
1882 Captain,
1895 Lieutenant Colonel
,
1903 Colonel,
1915 Brigadier General
