Civil War Drummers Were Kids and Heroes. Johnny Clem, the most famous drummer in the Civil War. Learn about Clem

Do you like our Civil War Kids logo? It tells a story. My dad does public relations and marketing, so friends of his, Denise Waid and Kirsten Cutshall helped turn my drawing into the logo for the site. I want to thank them as they did it out of the goodness of their heart.   I have learned that logos can tell stories and mine does.  In the Civil War drummers were most always kids, but they played a very, very important role in the Civil War.  Their drumming communicated important information to soldiers before and during battles. When the guns and cannons were firing and men were screaming sometimes only drums and bugles could be heard to tell soldiers what they should do next.  LIke the drummers I want to communicate important information, so they are part of my logo. And like them I am a kid. Some times their drumming could save lives. Us kids can save battlefield.  One of the most famous kid drummers was Johnny Clem. Johnny was a hero. Civil War Kids can be heroes by learning about and saving our history and battlefields.
