William Horsfall ran away from home and became a drummer in the Civil War. He hitched a ride on the steamship Annie Laurie while it was docked in Newport. At just 15, he received the Medal of Honor for saving the life of a high ranking Union officer at the siege of Corinth. He served in the army until March of 1866 and lived the rest of his life in Newport.
