Tillie Pierce's "At Gettysburg" is an intriguing book that follows the life of 16 year old Tillie as she witnesses and experiences the Battle of Gettysburg. During the first day's fighting, Tillie's family moved her out of town to a farm, thinking she would be safer there. As it turned out, Tillie ended up right behind the Union rear lines on the second and third days of the battle. The farm where Tillie stayed became a field hospital, where the young girl witnessed much suffering and death. The book is considered to be a very accurate and firsthand source, not to mention a remarkable journey behind the front lines at the Battle of Gettysburg.
