A Boy Trooper with Sheridan

By Stanton P. Allen

Stanton P. Allen's 'A Boy Trooper with Sheridan' is a semi-historical novel that follows the story of a young boy from Berlin, New York, who enlists in the army during the Civil War at the age of 14. He joins Capt. Boutelle's company of the twenty-first (Griswold) cavalry, invests his bounty in a yellow and blue uniform, but his parents discover his enlistment and obtain a writ of habeas corpus from Judge Robertson, leading to his discharge from the military service. A warrant is then issued for the recruit, charging him with obtaining bounty and uniform under false pretenses, and he has to give bail before Judge Robertson in the sum of five hundred dollars. The novel offers a unique perspective on the Civil War, told through the eyes of a young boy who experiences the hardships and struggles of the war firsthand.
