Silverfoot - Lindsay Maud

Maud Lindsay's Silverfoot takes place in the South during the American Civil War. Unlike most war stories, this story is told from the viewpoint of three young girls. The girls are staying with their grandmother and aunts, while their fathers, uncles, and older male cousins are away fight the war. While their older cousin is away fighting the war, he leaves his prize horse, Silverfoot, in their care, with the charge to keep Silverfoot away from the Yankees. The girls have many exciting adventures, and endure many hardships. The story accurately depicts what life was like for many in the South during the war, but in a manner suited for children.
