Youngest Confederate Soldier Joined At Age Nine
An ex-history note claims George H. Jacobs from North Carolina was the likely youngest Confederate soldier. He enlisted as a drummer at nine with his father in the Camden Grays, became a soldier at twelve, and fought through the war with General Lee at Appomattox. Born August 20, 1854 at Nag's Head, he died November 25, 1908 after a war lived largely in Virginia. He rode a pony and once lay in a ditch during heavy fighting.
