Rescue that healed a heart

A young woman finds a wounded Union Soldier not far from her home. She and her father bring him to their cabin. The soldier was very ill.

I'm time the soldier healed and needed to complete his service.

I loved how the father and daughter cared for each other and the soldier.

Civil War stories are very interesting to me.

Set towards the end of the civil war in the South , a young woman and her grandfather care for a wounded Union soldier. It's fairly short.
