Recollections of the Civil War

About the author

Maud E. Morrow is known for Recollections of the Civil War, published in 1901. The book presents the war through childhood memory and follows an eight-year-old girl traveling with her mother to Corinth, Mississippi, shortly after the 1862 battle there, while her father was ill.

The surviving catalog and archive records available here confirm the book, its 1901 publication in Lockland, Ohio, and its focus on personal Civil War remembrance. That makes her notable less as a widely documented public figure than as a firsthand family storyteller whose short memoir preserves everyday impressions of war.

I could confirm the work and its historical framing, but I did not find a reliable source in this search that clearly established further biographical details such as her full life story or a verified portrait.
