My Father a WWII veteran took me to the state house in Boston in the early 50's on Veteran's Day. I meet a man who my Dad said was the oldest Civil War Veteran!! He told me he was a Drummer Boy. I just googled and Albert Woolson popped up, and it mentioned he was a a drummer Boy. I was born in England in 1946. I was 6 7 or 8 when I met him. It was always a memory I had.
Amazing story!
Woolson is a Minnesota guy— have owned photos of him. May have some posted on this site
