Synopsis: A touching and thrilling story of a young's girl experiences at the battle of Gettysburg.

Review: I was in the Gettysburg this area for a flag football tournament and had some down time. I toured The Shriver House, which was one of the best tours I've ever taken in Gettysburg. I've explored this town so extensively that I don't require a GPS to get around so to say this is a worthy tour means something.

Tillie Pierce was the 15 year old neighbor of the Shriver family and their stories are intertwined.

The tour guide strongly recommended At Gettysburg and it really was worth the read. Several of Tillie's memories and details have been substantiated by experts.
