Summary "A Yankee Girl at Shiloh" by Alice Turner Curtis is a historical novel written in the early 20th century. Set during the American Civil War, it follows the adventures of Berenice "Berry" Arnold, a young girl from Vermont who, alongside her family, moves to Tennessee for her father's health. The narrative paints a vivid picture of Berry's life in a wooden cabin as she faces the challenges of war, friendship, and bravery in a time of conflict. At the start of this story, we meet Berry, who is full of energy and excitement as she experiences her first significant snowfall in Tennessee. The opening chapters introduce us to her life and her relationship with her parents while hinting at the dangers that encroach due to the looming Civil War. As Berry embarks on daily adventures, she encounters a young runaway slave named Lily and makes a crucial decision to help her, showcasing her spirited nature and compassion. The early interactions set up themes of friendship, courage, and the impact of war on the lives of ordinary people, inviting readers to engage with Berry's journey as she grows and navigates the complexities of her world.
