Civil War Monument

The Captain History character, that I created for the Green-Wood history/coloring/comic book, shows us the Drummer Boy statue at the Brooklyn site. This is another important piece for the historic cemetery featuring a special Civil War tribute. Many Civil War soldiers are at rest here. The Drummer Boy story goes like this: A young Brooklyn boy went off to join the war effort. He became a drummer, not a soldier, because of his young age. He sadly lost his young life when caught in a battle between the North and the South. This is a monument to his youthful vigor.
