520    Sometimes a war's greatest heroes are its survivors, those
       who manage to forge new lives despite the tragedy they 
       have experienced. For the sixteen unsung heroes profiled 
       in Beyond Their Years, surviving also meant surrendering 
       their childhood. These children found themselves on the 
       edge of the fray - both in combat and in the throes of 
       daily life - helping, or simply enduring, as best their 
       interrupted youths allowed. Their behind-the-scenes 
       stories illustrate what it was really like for children 
       during the Civil War. Meet Ransom Powell, a thirteen-year-
       old drummer boy who survived grueling Confederate prison 
       camps; writer and patriot Maggie Campbell, only eight 
       years old when the war ended; Ulysses S. Grant's son Jesse,
       who rode proudly alongside Abraham Lincoln's son Tad and 
       Ella Sheppard, daughter of a slave mother and a freed 
       father, who lived through the backlash of slave 
       rebellions. Each of these young survivors' lives represent
       an amazing contribution to the war effort and to 
       postbellum life. Learn the inspiring stories of these 
       American children who displayed courage, devotion, and 
       wisdom beyond their years.
