From Wikipedia I quote: "Elsie Dinsmore is a children's book series written by Martha Finley (1828–1909) between 1867 and 1905. "The books take place on plantations in the American South, starting before the start of the Civil War. Elsie starts as an eight-year-old girl who has been living with her paternal grandfather, his second wife (Elsie's step-grandmother), and their six children: Adelaide, Lora, Louise, Arthur, Walter, and Enna. Elsie's mother died soon after giving birth to her, and her father has been traveling in Europe. She is good friends with Rose Allison, with whom she studies the Bible. "The first two books, published in quick succession, became immediate best sellers.[2] The 28-book series went on to be "The most popular and longest running girl’s series of the 19th century," with the first volume selling nearly 300,000 copies in its first decade, going on to "sell more than 5 million copies in the 20th century."[3]" Incredible series of American history. Great for any book collector or history buff.
