Boy Hero George Black Frontline Musician in Civil War
A Philadelphia boy named George Black enlisted as a musician in fall 1861 at under 12 years old. His father, George W. Black, served as first lieutenant in the Ninety‑first Pennsylvania Cavalry division of the Fifth Corps. At Marye’s Heights Fredericksburg on December 13, 1863, the boy pressed the front with his father’s unit, was briefly pulled back, and again returned to duty. Both escaped fatal injuries as over 100 of about 300 were killed or wounded. Father and son later met in the woods of Culpeper. Black’s horse halted a retreat and fired into the advancing column, his horse and muskets sustaining injuries before the boy was seen in Washington with both arms in slings. The piece promises more but space ends the tale.
