About this ebook
Gettysburg! To most people, the very name conjures up images of war, death, destruction, horrified screams, and all manner of damage and ruin. But to three people growing up there in the mid-1860s, it was simply home. Jennie Wade, Jack Skelly, and Wesley Culp played tag in the streets, tossed pebbles into Rock Creek, and fished from its banks. They shared each other's secrets and dreams of the future. But none foresaw what would happen when war reached their little town. Gettysburg is situated a mere ten miles north of the Mason-Dixon Line, a hub where over half a dozen roads converge. So when war started, it was not inconceivable that the village would, sooner or later, be touched by it. And touch it, it did! For three days in July 1863, the battle raged in and around the town until, when it was over, a village that numbered about two thousand souls suddenly found itself caring for over twenty thousand wounded from both sides. In the midst of all the tragedy, three friends emerged. One joined the Union Army, the other the Confederate Army, and Jennie stayed behind. War, like death, will not be ignored, and it came to visit each of them in its own way. Life too holds many secrets, including how it ends. As close as the three were in life, they would never learn each other's secret ending.
