As a mother I wonder how Abigail Adams felt when her husband, John Adams, sent his son, John Quincy Adams, to be a interpreter at the Russian court when he was just 14 years old.

I marvel that there no Facetime to check in, no Life 360 to track him to make sure he was okay. How brave that young man must have been.

But that was par for the course back then.

After all boys as young as 16 could fight in the Revolutionary War. Even younger could become drummer boys. And children as young as TEN could be messengers and carry important correspondence for commanders and spies.

In fact, President Andrew Jackson became a courier for the Continental Army at the mere age of 13 and was captured by the Redcoats at one point. Can you imagine?

I don't have boys but if I did I would make sure to read them stories of young men like this who showed extraordinary courage and honor in the face of daunting times. No better time to start than this year of our 250th birthday.

Our 1776 Family Book Club list includes stories of brave early Americans, young and old, and books that inspire the virtues we want in our children. It's completely free this year in honor of this great celebration. 🇺🇸🎊 #america250
