Title: Sycamore silver
First published: 1942
Description: This book is about young treasure seekers hunting for family silver hidden or stolen during the Civil War.  Although it is very charming, I doubt children of today would be able to identify with the way of life or the racial divisions.  I read this book when I was very young and when I was trying to find books I remembered reading in my youth, I was lucky enough to be able to purchase it.  I wish she had written a sequel because there is "unfinished" business at the end.
Subjects: hidden treasure, circus dog, best friends
Places: the "northern" neck of Virginia after the Civil War
Time periods: 1891 or thereabouts
