Recollections of the Civil War by Maud E. Morrow is a fascinating recollection of the American Civil War, told from the point of view of a child whose mother worked in a hospital during the war. The story has the innocence you'd expect from such a young narrator but with the earnest and honest tone that only a child could think of or have.
