∙ 14y agoDrummer boys were used all the up through the American civil war. They sounded orders to the troops. A certain number of drum beats meant a certain movement. It was a very dangerous job and often the shelling and fire was aimed at the drummers. In the civil war many of the boys threw down the drum and picked up a gun to fight. In the book A Boys War on pages 27-39 are the accounts of civil war drummer boys.
