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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 112\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.23 x 9.02 x 5.98 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e May 23, 2010\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42118685098119,"sku":"9781449900892","price":13.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0601\/2623\/2711\/files\/46bac8087ebab74c6e5afb9666098c13.webp?v=1732535435","url":"https:\/\/booksby.splitshops.com\/products\/the-battle-of-gettysburg-as-seen-by-two-teens-the-stories-of-tillie-pierce-and-daniel-skelly-paperback","provider":"Books by splitShops","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
