During the Civil War, there were many legends surrounding young drummer boys on the battlefield. Arguably, the most famous of these was about Johnny Shiloh who gave the ultimate sacrifice on that Tennessee battlefield. The problem with this legend is that it was probably based on a young boy named John Clem, who not only didn't die in battle, he wasn't even at Shiloh. He did make a name for himself at Chickamauga, though.

This week's Ghosts of Arlington are:

1. Army Major General John Lincoln Clem, Section 2, Grave 993
2. Army Bugler John Cook, Section 17, Grave 18613

The introduction and transition music heard on the podcast is composed and recorded by the eldest Ghosts of Arlington, Jr. While the rest of his catalogue is quite different from what he's performed for me, you can find his music on bandcamp.com under the names Caladrius and Bloodfeather.
