Book Review; Thunder at Gettysburg

Thunder at Gettysburg by Patrica Lee Gautch
I read this book. It is a true story. It is about a girl named Tillie Pierce. She lived in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania during the civil war. She was 15 years old when her neighbor asked her to come with her to a farm out of town with her young children. But the farm they went to ended up being in the middle of the battle. Tilly got stuck in the battle field. She helped bring water and food to soilders that were hurt because the farm had been turned into a temporary hospital for the soilders. When the battle came to where the farm where she was she had to run across the battle field into the Bushman's Farm but she had to turn back because the battle was there too. She was a brave girl.

At the Maple Syrup Festival we met 2 men dressed like civil war soilders. They taught us alot about the civil war and shot the musket (which Cooper loved).
