Of Age : Boy Soldiers and Military Power in the Civil War Era

Of Age is the first study to focus on underage enlistment in the US Civil War. By tracing the heated conflicts between parents who sought to recover their sons and military and federal officials who resisted their claims, this book exposes larger, underlying struggles over the centralization of wartime legal and military power.
