(3) YA Anderson uses Pierce's memoirs to render a vivid account of the fighting that unfolded around 1863 Gettysburg. The fifteen-year-old was inadvertently caught in the horrors of the Civil War as the farmhouse in which she was staying was used as a hospital, and she was called upon to help care for the wounded. Archival photographs accompany the engaging text. Reading list, websites. Bib., ind.
Reviewer: Luther B. Clegg
