During the Civil War (1861-65) regulations for enlisting men in both armies were not always followed. It was not unusual for boys as young as eight or nine years old to be a part of the fighting force. Some of these boys went along with their enlisted fathers, older brothers, or uncles. Many ran away from unhappy homes or orphanages, and others went to the army seeking adventure and freedom from chores at home. Most often these boys were not officially enlisted, and their names would not appear on any formal documents; however, they played important roles as miniature soldiers. Drummer boys, messengers, orderlies, and caretakers of the sick and wounded were all jobs these young boys performed.Little Blue Little Gray is a story about two such boys who became a part of the Civil War. The boy on the side of the Union (Little Blue) is based on a real boy named John Clem, one of the most famous boy soldiers. The Confederate boy (Little Gray) is also based on a real boy named Charles Hay. Both are known to have been at the Battle of Chickamauga on September 19-20, 1863. Whether they actually met is doubtful, but the imagination can carry us down many roads, and anything is possible.

This book is a collection of true stories that happened in the life of the author Del Hart on a dairy farm in Central Pennsylvania. After Del was blessed with his own children, he would often lie with one of them in bed at bedtime and tell these stories loud enough in order that all four children could hear in the adjoining bedrooms before they went to sleep. All the stories deal with Del's family. His family consisted of his mom and dad, Judy, Rod, his twin sister Deb, and Matthew. Judy was three years older than Del, and Rod was one year older. Matthew was born fourteen years later than his other brothers and sisters. For this reason, Matthew is not mentioned in many of the stories. Even though the stories occur at different times in Del's early life, they all begin with the same sentence. Del's children loved this group of words and would often start the story by reciting this sentence. Their dad would then choose a story, from memory, and finish it. Del's children, Leah, Thomas, Lydia, and Timothy, heard one story each night and, in time, heard these stories many times. However, Picking Up Pears, The Bees Nest and Deb's Shoe, and The Cow Story were some of their favorites. Del would like to thank his children for the special times he shared with them during these bedtime stories. The stories you are about to read have all been heard by Del's children many times. Del hopes that you will enjoy these stories as his children did.
