= Name: Monroe Brown = ===My name is Monroe Brown. I am a union drummer boy. I am from Stamford, Conneticut. I am 16 years old. Both of my parents are in the Civil War. My mother is a nurse and my father is a sergeant for the Union. Since the beginning of the Civil War I have been living by myself in Stamford. A few months ago I decided I would join the army. They thought I was not fit for the physical warfare so I asked if there was anything else I could do to be in the war. They said that was an open spot for a drummer boy in the Hartford militia.===
