Overview

In the summer of 1862, ten-year-old Joseph H. White left the quiet fields of Bangor, New York, and marched off to war as a drummer boy in the Union Army. Too young to carry a musket, he carried the heartbeat of the regiment on his drum - through rain-soaked camps, the roar of cannons at Cold Harbor, and the endless trenches before Petersburg. A Walk Among Soldiers is a moving work of family history-inspired fiction that blends real events with the imagination of storytelling. Through Joseph's eyes, readers experience the terror of the battlefield, the grind of siege warfare, and the fragile hopes a child clung to when surrounded by death. His journey is not just about war, but about survival, memory, and the bond between home and soldier. Drawing from authentic Civil War records and reimagined through fiction, this novel paints a vivid portrait of a boy who endured the unimaginable. Both a tribute to history and a powerful narrative, A Walk Among Soldiers will resonate with fans of historical fiction, American history, and stories of resilience passed down through generations. Inspired by true events. Based on the legacy of a real drummer boy. A reminder that even in war, the smallest voices can still be heard.
