"15-year-old Private Daniel H. Otis. Company B, 14th Regiment, Connecticut Volunteer Infantry, Army of the Potomac. Mortally wounded at Fredericksburg, December 13, 1862."--photo caption on front cover and title page.
Summary "15 year-old Daniel H. Otis was living on his family's farm in the Maromas section of Middletown, Connecticut, when on Monday, August 4, 1862, he left his home for good and "ran away to war." Lying about his age, he enlisted as a volunteer soldier at Elijah Gibbons' recruiting office at 100 Main Street in downtown Middletown. Daniel Otis was the youngest Middletown man to serve in the Civil War and the youngest soldier in his Company. About four months later, on Saturday, December 13, 1862, while crossing over a millrace bridge during the first wave of attacks on Marye's Heights at the Battle of Fredericksburg, Private Daniel H. Otis was mortally wounded by Confederate artillery fire. There he fell with a "fatal wound." A few days later, Daniel died at the Regimental Hospital across the river in Falmouth, Virginia"-- https://danielhotis.blogspot.com/
