In the fictional story, the man who is talking to the young drummer boy says that this battle will take many lives, and be a big battle, in real life, the battle of Shiloh was the biggest battle that they had ever fought up to that point. The man also says that maybe they will name the battle the battle of Shiloh because of how close it was to the church of Shiloh, which they also did end up naming it the battle of Shiloh because of that very reason. Some other small details that make this story historically accurate are how young the boys are, they are both in their early teens and how scared they both are to fight. Ther talk about how everyone else has guns and shields and all they have are drums that call attention towards them and they also talk about how they become targets because they are like the leaders that tell the rest of the men where to go. All of these reasons and details in the fictional story, “The Drummer Boy of Shiloh” add up to a very historically accurate story in my opinion.
