Early Accounts of Drummer Boy Johnny Clem
John Lincoln "Johnny" Clem (1851-1937) gained fame at age 12 for his battlefield courage. Today he remains one of the Civil War's most enduring figures after a military career that ended with his retirement as a brigadier general in 1915. Seeking to learn more about his origin story, I found three early accounts dating from the Civil War from individuals who claimed to have met him.
