Book by Keesee, Dennis M.
Why read it?
1 author picked Too Young to Die as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
I like this book because it is an outstanding collection of images and biographical information about real boys who served in the Union Army during the American Civil War.
I wanted to learn their stories so I could share them with others, in particular, my students–to teach them history through the lives of their peers. I found Keesee’s research extraordinary, a fascinating dive into the lives of real boys who were a part of America’s history yet are generally forgotten today.
As a retired teacher, I continue to share what I’ve learned through my writings and presentations to library patrons…
From J.'s list on youth who served in the American Civil War.
