From the book "The Story of a Confederate Boy in the Civil War", from page iv of the preface, I quote the author David E. Johnston: "For some of the dates & material I am indebted to comrades. I also found considerable information from letters written by myself during the war to a friend, not in the army, and not subject to military duty, on account of sex: who, as I write, sits by me, having now (February 1914) for a period of more than 46 years been the sharer of my joys, burdens & sorrows (my wife, Sarah) whose only brother, George Daniel Pearis, a boy of seventeen years & a member of Bryan's Virginia Battery, fell mortally wounded in the Battle of Cloyd's Farm, May 9, 1864." Aged 17 Years, 2 Months, 27 Days
