I came across this book tonight that looks interesting, http://cwba.blogspot.com/2013/12/phillips-ed-torn-by-war-civil-war.html
Here is a brief description from Civil War Books and Authors:
Teenager Mary Adelia Byers begins her Civil War journal with the Union occupation of Batesville, Arkansas in May 1862. Byers correctly saw that the arrival of Union forces was a seminal event affecting personal, family, and community fortunes and was determined to document the experience. For the rest of the war (with the exception of 1865's single entry and a long period of malarial illness the previous year), she was a steady chronicler of events. Edited by Samuel Phillips, this remarkable first person record has been published under the title Torn by War: The Civil War Journal of Mary Adelia Byers.
