There have been a great number of books written about the critical Battle of Gettysburg; but few of them convey the drama and emotion experienced firsthand by Tillie Pierce (a 15-year-old school girl) and Dan Skelly (an 18-year-old store clerk.) Their stories are among the best civilian observations of the war. Matilda "Tillie" Pierce Alleman self-published "At Gettysburg: What a Girl Saw and Heard of the Battle" (1888); and Daniel Skelly wrote "A Boy's Experiences During the Battles of Gettysburg" (1932); including his eyewitness account of President Abraham Lincoln's immortal Address. The full text of both teens' stories are reprinted here. The editor has included forty-one historic photographs and maps to enhance the reading experience.

1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. The series is great and essential reading for AssyriologistsBy E.Temen.Ni.GuruThe series is great and essential reading for Assyriologists; In particular for those looking for sources that contain the Old-Akkadian dialect. the transliterations and philological and historical commentary will be useful for the scholar to build his knowledge of the period Unfortunately there are no Autographs or pictures of the tablets; meaning you can't check the work of the scholar's reading of a sign. Still; for practical purposes; this will be a welcome addition in the library of any scholar. That being said; the text is a monograph for scholars and probably won't be of much use for the popular reader.
