About This Book

The memoir presents a child's vivid memories of living through the Civil War years, recounting a journey to join an ill father serving with the army, experiences in military hospitals and on a battlefield-turned-hospital site, and the author's observations of nursing, scarcity, and civilian disruption. It interweaves family recollection, preserved letters, and sensory detail to describe travel, hospital wards, and community responses, while reflecting on fear, loss, and admiration for the mother's ministrations to the sick and wounded. Episodes are organized chronologically and punctuated by personal reflections that balance concrete incidents with the long-term emotional imprint of wartime childhood.
