Thanks.

"Little Women."
It's set during the war and the character of the girls' father (Mr. March) is away at the battlefront for a good chunk of the story. He's a chaplain in the Union army. He's wounded and his homecoming is a major plot point in the story.
The book itself was published just a few years after the end of the war.

Liar, Temptress, Soldier, Spy, by Karen Abbott is brilliant. It's the true story of four women (two Union, two Confederate) who were undercover or spies during the war. You will get insights into the period that will blow your mind. It's an excellent and really fun read, not to mention, meticulously researched.
I also loved Killer Angels, by Michael Shaara.
I'm not that far into Liar, Temptress, Soldier, Spy, but I also have been enjoying it a lot. The blend of the research into the writing is really well done.
