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.
