CWDD: An Iron Brigade Drum

[Jeremy Bevard]

Welcome to another “Out of the Vault” episode featuring a drum from the Detroit Historical Society collection. Enjoy the story of a young drummer boy in the 24th Michigan who likely played this very drum at Gettysburg 158 years ago. What stories could this drum tell about Willie and his experiences during the war? Thank you to the Detroit Historical Society and the Historical Fort Wayne Coalition for this collaboration.
