"A great war-date carte-de-visite of Robert Hendershot, ""The drummer boy of the Rappahannock"". Hendershot received his famous nickname while serving in the 8th Michigan at Fredericksburg in Dec. 1863 and was photographed shortly after the battle to help bolster support for the war. The young man holds his drum sticks while leaning against a chair. Backstamp by Kertson & Barker, New York. Lower margins trimmed with rounded corners, minor soiling, very good." 2474 A great war-date carte-de-visite of Robert Hendershot, ""The drummer boy of the Rappahannock"".
