Faithful Unto Death of a Civil War Boy Hero
An army officer recalls a brave young Confederate soldier from the Army of Northern Virginia. The boy, probably no more than sixteen, stayed with the regiment through encampments and battles. In one engagement a bullet struck him, collapsing him as he held a horse for his colonel. The colonel urged him to live, but the boy died with the reins in his hand and the bridle still wrapped loosely around his right hand, a testament to youth and courage.
