Episode description
Boy soldier Granville M. Holt enlisted in the U.S. Army at just 15 years old, becoming one of the youngest Civil War soldiers in Maine history. He managed this feat with the blessing of his minister father, who assured recruiters that his son was 18—the legal enlistment age. Granville survived the war, but he could not escape the affliction that had haunted the Holt family for generations.
