New Book Announced!! GETTYSBURG: THE TRUE ACCOUNT OF TWO YOUNG HEROES IN THE GREATEST BATTLE OF THE CIVIL WAR

GETTYSBURG: THE TRUE ACCOUNT OF TWO YOUNG HEROES IN THE GREATEST BATTLE OF THE CIVIL WAR

My new book is written for young adult readers on the battle of Gettysburg in time for the 150th anniversary next year.

This is a book I have wanted to write since I first visited Gettysburg in 1985. The narrative is centered on the accounts of two Gettysburg teenagers who were caught in the middle of the epic battle, Tillie Pierce and Daniel Skelly. It also covers the course of the campaign and three day battle plus Lincoln's famous Gettysburg Address.

The book includes numerous maps, full color prints by Don Troiani, historic photos and is bursting at the seams with first person accounts from those who were there. Anyone new to reading about the Civil War--students, teachers, parents, will find this an accessible account of the greatest battle ever fought on American soil.
