"Adventures and Reminiscences of a Volunteer; Or, A Drummer Boy from Maine" by Geo. T. Ulmer is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The book chronicles the experiences of the author as a young drummer boy who joins the Union army during the Civil War, capturing his youthful aspirations, struggles, and the harsh realities of war. The narrative aims to provide insight into the life of a soldier through the eyes of a boy, blending personal reminiscences with broader historical events. The opening of the memoir introduces the author as a determined but inexperienced young boy, deeply inspired by the war and eager to enlist, despite his small stature. After the death of his mother, he and his brothers are uprooted from New York City and relocated to a difficult farming life in Maine, where his longing for adventure intensifies. The narrative describes his relentless attempts to join the army, his eventual enlistment at a young age, and the early experiences he encounters, including the strong bond with his family, his feelings of patriotism, and the humorous challenges of fitting into a soldier’s life. As he recounts these formative moments, Ulmer captures his youthful enthusiasm, resolute spirit, and the realities of soldiering that he faces in the early days of his service.
