A little sensation here occurred, by the receipt of atelegram from Nashua, addressed to Colonel Fellows,commanding the regiment, demanding the return of oneof the drummer boys, Jimmie Moore of Nashua. Tothe best of my recollection it was backed by authority ofthe court, as it must have been to have persuaded thecolonel to take from the ranks one of his drummer boys,and as it later appeared, it was done at the request anddemand of Jinimies parents. Jimmie, however, wasbound to go to war, and succeeded later in going withthe 9th N. H. regiment, and did good service through thewar, as my brother, Captain C. D. Copp of that regiment,testifies. Jimmie Moore is now one of our white hairedrespected veterans, the same Jimmie to all of hismanv friends in 19 CHAPTER II.
