Download At Gettysburg: Or, What a Girl Saw and Heard of the Battle AudioBook Free
Long considered one of the very most vibrant and compelling accounts of the struggle of Gettysburg by a resident of the city. Fifteen-year-old Matilda "Tillie" Pierce found Union basic Buford enter town along with his cavalry, found the rout of the first day of fighting with each other, and the Confederates streaming through the city. She gave water to many Union soldiers, including Standard George Gordon Meade, the new commander of the Army of the Potomac. She went on to help the nurses and surgeons care for wounded at a residence down on Taneytown Road, seated to comfort the dying Standard Stephen Weed. Tillie found the mangled bodies of men and horses, and the amazing damage of the fields and farms. A quarter-century later, Tillie, now married and a mom, sat down and penned this exceptional take into account her family. Every memoir of the American Civil Warfare provides us with another view of the catastrophe that transformed the country forever. For the first time, this long out-of-print volume level can be obtained as an audiobook.
