"Have you ever wondered what it's like growing up in an orphanage? This book is a delightful collection of short stories written by those children, now adults, raised in the Ohio Soldiers' and Sailors' Orphans' Home/Ohio Veterans' Children's Home, Xenia, Ohio. In their own words, they share their favorite memories. Whether funny, ornery, coming of age, sentimental, or heartwarming, their stories tell of life in the orphanage"--Back cover.
"At just five years old, Janice Daulbaugh, along with her three siblings, was sent to the Ohio Soldiers' and Sailors' Orphans' Home in Xenia, Ohio. Her touching, and at times incredibly difficult, journey began the day she left her grandmother's house and ended the day she graduated high school from the Home. It's a story through the eyes of a child, then a teenager, and finally a young adult; a story that reveals why she cried when she entered the Home, but cried much harder when she left-for good." --

The Children's Civil War is an exploration of childhood during our nation's greatest crisis. James Marten describes how the war changed the literature and schoolbooks published for children, how it affected children's relationships with absent fathers and brothers, how the responsibilities forced on northern and especially southern youngsters shortened their childhoods, and how the death and destruction that tore the country apart often cut down children as well as adults.
