Excerpt from The Loyal Spectre, or the True Hearts of Atlanta AT the close of a hot summer day, two young men sat by an Open window, in the parlour of a fine Southern mansion in Georgia. They were very different in appearance, in character, in worldly position, in all outward and visible things from which the world forms its estimation of men. The younger was named Arthur Arment. He had nearly finished his twenty-first year - was handsome, of a true Southern type, with raven hair, brown eyes, regular features, and a sym metrical form. His black hair was abundant-a possession for which he might well have been envied; his brown eyes were large and expressive his complexion was clear and rather pale; his rich lips were finely cut and arched; his symmetrical form was inclined to be tall and slim; his voice was musical, though somewhat languid; his upper lip was ornamented, not disfigured, by a deli cate black mustache; his dress was elegant and tasteful, though carelessly worn.

The Children's Civil War is an exploration of childhood during our nation's greatest crisis. James Marten describes how the war changed the literature and schoolbooks published for children, how it affected children's relationships with absent fathers and brothers, how the responsibilities forced on northern and especially southern youngsters shortened their childhoods, and how the death and destruction that tore the country apart often cut down children as well as adults.
