“A Boy Trooper with Sheridan” by Stanton P. Allen is a historical account written in the late 19th century that chronicles the experiences of a young boy during the American Civil War. It follows the story of Stanton P. Allen, who, despite being only fourteen years old, is eager to enlist and serve in the cavalry. The narrative captures the enthusiasm and challenges faced by young soldiers and the war fever that swept through the youth of that era. The opening portion introduces us to Stanton's fervent desire to join the fight against the Confederacy, influenced by the heroic tales of the soldiers around him and his own need for adventure. He enlists in the Griswold Cavalry, reflecting on his age and the emotional turmoil of his family when they discover his intentions. The narrative highlights his encounters with peers, fellow soldiers, and the humorous yet poignant aspects of military life, including the challenges of receiving his uniform and equipment. As he grapples with the realities of army life and the looming dangers of battle, Stanton's bravery and determination become evident, setting the stage for his forthcoming adventures in the war.
