An ALA Best Book for Young Adults: Firsthand accounts of the experiences of boys sixteen and younger who fought in the Civil War, with photos included. Winner of the Golden Kite Award for Nonfiction "Making extensive use of the actual words--culled from diaries, journals, memoirs, and letters--of boys who served in the Union and Confederate armies as fighting soldiers as well as drummers, buglers, and telegraphers, Murphy describes the beginnings of the Civil War and goes on to delineate the military role of the underage soldiers and their life in the camps and field bivouacs. Also included is a description of the boys' return home and the effects upon them of their wartime experiences...An excellent selection of more than 45 sepia-toned contemporary photographs augment the text of this informative, moving work." --School Library Journal (starred review) "This wrenching look at our nation's bloodiest conflict through the eyes of its youthful participants serves up history both heartbreaking and enlightening." --Publishers Weekly "This well-researched and readable account provides fresh insight into the human cost of a pivotal event in United States history." --The Horn Book (starred review)

MITCHELL AND WILLIAM ROBERT HOUGHTON worked together on their chronicles, Two Boys in the Civil War and After, which was first published in 1912. While William did most of the actual composition of the book, Mitchell similarly contributed his memories. He recalls his participation in the war and describes the reconstruction era in the South. William's memoirs are more extensive and contain minutiae of his activities as a soldier, descriptions of reconstruction, and his reflections upon visiting Gettysburg and Manassas in 1903. William describes facets of life in the Confederate army, his part in battles, and camp experiences. He muses on the South's struggle to regenerate herself after the war and notes several topics that concerned the region: carpetbaggers, race relations, and northern rule.Owen, Thomas McAdory, History of Alabama and Dictionary of Alabama Biography, vol. 3, Chicago: S. J. Clarke Printing Co., 1921.
