Choose this endpoint when you need a curated, pre-categorized list of public-domain Civil War personal narratives without needing to build a search query. It is ideal when the user wants to browse or discover memoirs and eyewitness accounts from the 1861-1865 period, rather than searching full text. Prefer the full-text search sibling endpoint if the user has a specific passage or keyword in mind.
