A Confederate Girl's Diary by Sarah Morgan Dawson

The book is a firsthand look at the Civil War from the perspective of a young Southern girl in Louisiana as she navigates the trials and tribulations of war and personal loss. Sarah Morgan's reflections depict not only her life and experiences but also the emotional landscape of Southern women during a tumultuous time
in American history. At the start of the diary, Sarah reflects on her life before the war, expressing nostalgia for her carefree childhood.
