Summary "Elsie's Young Folks in Peace and War" by Martha Finley is a children's historical novel written in the early 20th century. The story follows Elsie Raymond and her companions during a sailing trip along the Maine coast, where they engage in discussions about historical events related to the American Revolutionary War and the War of 1812. As they navigate their journey, they express excitement about exploring places tied to these significant events in American history, showcasing a blend of adventure and education. At the start of the book, a charming summer day sets the scene as Elsie and her brother Ned board their yacht, the "Dolphin", after enjoying a stay at Bar Harbor. They eagerly seek out their grandmother to learn more about the historical significance of the coastal areas they're visiting, particularly the battles fought during the wars mentioned. With vibrant dialogue and a tone that reflects both adventure and curiosity, the opening introduces the young characters and hints at their quest for knowledge, respecting themes of bravery, history, and family bonding as they learn about their nation's past.
