| Summary | "Recollections of the Civil War" by Maud E. Morrow is a historical account written in the early 20th century, specifically around the early 1900s. This memoir offers a unique perspective on the American Civil War as experienced through the eyes of a child. The book captures the memories of the author, focusing on her family's journey during the war, the challenges they faced, and the impact of the conflict on their lives. In her narrative, Morrow provides vivid and heartfelt descriptions of her experiences as a young girl accompanying her mother and father, a surgeon in the Union Army, to the southern frontlines. She recalls their travels through various towns, encounters with soldiers, hospital life, and the children she befriended among the contrabands. The book highlights themes of resilience, compassion, and the stark realities of war, juxtaposed with the innocent curiosity and fears of childhood. Morrow's story is both a tribute to her family’s courage and an evocative recollection of a tumultuous period in American history, filled with poignant memories of love, loss, and sacrifice.
