This is the true story of twelve-year-old Gustav A. Schurmann who served as a musician in Company I, 40th New York Infantry, from 1961-1864. This book vividly depicts all of his remarkable wartime experiences, including his stay at the White House as the boyhood companion of Tad Lincoln. At the end of Schurmann's distinguished military career at age fifteen, he was a decorated veteran of ten battles--from Bull Run to Gettysburg. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |

I can’t say that I really liked this book for it was so obviously written down to the level of a child and therefore a little cloying. Another thing I found annoying was the imaginary dialog and descriptions of what Gustav was seeing, experiencing and thinking even though he left no record, written or otherwise of his thoughts and feelings concerning his war experience. Styple is not really cheating for he plainly states in the Introduction the limitations he faced in writing the book and the device he used in recreating the dialog, but I still found it annoying. Perhaps a child would not. It was o.k. ( )
