I don't believe that From the Earth to the Moon belongs here. It takes place after the period of the Civil War and, in any case, the War is just used very tangentially by Verne at the beginning of the story. It could just as easily have been the Boer War or some other conflict, as far as the main plot of the book is concerned. Davidhof (talk) 18:39, 18 July 2013 (UTC)

And one could say much the same for The Mysterious Island, though perhaps less strongly, since its opening scene does take place during the siege of Richmond. Davidhof (talk) 18:50, 18 July 2013 (UTC)
