The little boy apparently treasured his drum.

A lot of people don’t realize that General McClellan nearly captured Richmond early in the war.

He was only stopped when Robert E. Lee was appointed commander of The Army of Northern Virginia. He immediately began a series of fierce and costly but necessary attacks, driving Little Mac back down the peninsula.
