She was the only civilian killed during the Battle of Gettysburg!

Wet plate photograph, 5 1/2 x 3 7/8, on thick 7 x 5 card mount. Shows a portrait of Jennie Wade at the upper right, the house where she was killed on July 3, 1863, at Gettysburg in the center, and her grave site monument in Evergreen Cemetery, Gettysburg, Pa., at left. Jennie Wade was 19 years old when she was killed in the kitchen of her sister's house, while baking bread for the Union soldiers. A stray Confederate sharpshooter's bullet pierced through two wooden doors and killed Jennie instantly. Surprisingly she was the only civilian fatality of the epic three day battle of Gettysburg. Some light creasing at the right edge, and light chipping to the edges and corners of the card mount. Verso of mount shows wear. Very popular and desirable Gettysburg photos.
