Elsie's Young Folks: In Peace and War is a novel written by Martha Finley and first published in 1900. The book is part of the Elsie Dinsmore series, which follows the life of the titular character and her family. In this particular installment, Elsie's children and grandchildren are the focus of the story. The novel is divided into two parts: In Peace and In War. In the first part, the family is living in relative peace and happiness. Elsie's children are grown and have families of their own, and they are all living together in a beautiful home in Virginia. The family spends their time enjoying each other's company, going on outings, and participating in charitable work. However, the second part of the book takes a darker turn as the family is faced with the challenges of war. The Civil War has begun, and the family is torn apart as some members join the Confederate army and others remain neutral. The family must navigate the dangers and uncertainties of war, and ultimately come together to support each other and survive.Throughout the book, themes of family, faith, and patriotism are explored. The characters are well-developed and relatable, and the historical setting adds depth and interest to the story. Overall, Elsie's Young Folks: In Peace and War is a compelling and engaging read that will appeal to fans of historical fiction and family dramas.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
