Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Boy Trooper With Sheridan In the local columns of the Troy (N.Y.) Daily Times of September I, 1863, the following news item was published: More Than He Bargained For. A few days ago one Stanton P. Allen of Berlin, enlisted in Capt. Boutelle´s company of the twenty-first (Griswold) cavalry. We are not informed whether it was Stantons bearing the same name as the Secretary of War, or his mature cast of countenance that caused him to be accepted; for he was regarded as nineteen years of age, while, in reality, but fourteen summers had passed over his youthful, but ambitious brow. Stanton received a portion of his bounty and invested himself in one of those neat, but not gaudy yellow and blue suits that constitute the uniform of the Griswold boys. A few days intervened. Stanton´s ´patients,´ on the vine-clad hills of Berlin, heard that their darling boy had ´gone for a sojer.´ Their emotions were indescribable. ´So young and yet so valiant, thought his female relatives. How can I get him out?´ was the more practical query of his papa. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
