Recollections of the Civil War
by Maud E. Morrow
About the author
Best known for Recollections of the Civil War, Maud E. Morrow wrote from the unusual perspective of someone who experienced the conflict as a child rather than as a soldier or historian. That point of view gives her work a personal, everyday quality, focusing on family life, memory, and the way major events are felt at home.
Available catalog records and public-domain editions identify her as Maud Ella Morrow, born in Ross County, Ohio, on April 21, 1853, and deceased in Delphi, Indiana, on May 1, 1948. Her Civil War memoir was published in 1901 and has continued to circulate through reprints and digital editions, suggesting a lasting interest in its intimate, accessible style.
For listeners who enjoy history told through lived experience, Morrow offers something direct and human: not a broad survey of battles and politics, but a remembered world seen through young eyes. That simple angle is what makes her writing memorable.
