Burgwyn.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.ChildrenUnited StatesHistory19th centuryTeenagersUnited StatesHistory19th centuryUnited StatesHistoryCivil War, 1861-1865Participation, JuvenileUnited StatesHistoryCivil War, 1861-1865ChildrenChildrenHistoryTeenagersHistory973.70835Cohn Scotti1950-1506244MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910797639603321Beyond their years3736388UNINA
