About this title

Synopsis

2014 Self-published larger trade paperback, James M. Faber. Many, many books study the events and the strategies of this crucial battle, and do it well, while few touch on the human element of this tragic event, particularly those who were forced to endure the horror right outside their front doors. INVADERS IN OUR TOWN:THE BATTLE OF GETTYSBURG THROUGH THE EYES OF SOME WHO LIVED IT does just that. This book is built around actual people who lived in Gettysburg, and who experienced the horrors of this battle. It is told through two different sets of characters, the primary characters and the secondary characters. The primary characters: John Charles Will, Virginia (Ginnie) Wade, Tillie Pierce, Fannie Buehler, John L. Burns, Barbara Burns, Martha Gilbert, Elizabeth Butler, Samuel Butler, Elizabeth Salome (Sallie) Myers, Annie (Culp) Myers, Reverend Joseph Sherfy, John Wentz, Sallie Broadhead, Joseph Broadhead, and Professor Michael Jacobs. The secondary characters, who compliment the primary characters: Charles Will, Mary Wade, Samuel Wade, Daniel Skelly, James Pierce, Elizabeth and Jacob Gilbert, Francis Ogden, John Rose, John L. Tate, Mary Broadhead, and Henry Jacobs. - Amazon
