Gettysburg: Leaders, Civilians, Soldiers, and Frog Catchers - E-book - ePub

"Gettysburg: Leaders, Civilians, Soldiers, and Frog Catchers, " gives a fresh 'dialogue driven' perspective on the United States' greatest military battle. While not retelling the already well-known facts of the battle, the story presents lively and realistic conversations of not only the opposing leaders and soldiers who fought in the campaign, but also of local civilians who struggled to survive those horrific days in July, 1863.
Joining facts with the "very possible" in this work of historic fiction, episodes include Confederate infantry teasing civilians with their shrill rebel yell, a terrified family huddling in their basement, soldiers reflecting both before and after the bloody 3rd day of battle, and yes, two boys catching frogs and 'playing army' in the path of the advancing Southern forces. Intended to be thought provoking, creative, and interesting, "Gettysburg: Leaders, Civilians, Soldiers, and Frog Catchers" broadens the scope of that signature battle in The United States Civil War.
