The book "Tillie Pierce Teen Eyewitness To The Battle Of Gettysburg," by Tanya Anderson provides information about the occurrence of the Battle of Gettysburg and some of the effects. This book discusses Tillie's life and how she was significantly affected by the battle. Though Tillie wasn't the only one affected by the battle, it was everyone in Gettysburg in 1863 due to the fact that there were a total of 46,286 casualties. The moral is no matter how bad a situation is, it always gets better. Tillie was a young teenager when the battle occurred. Henrietta was a military wife as well as a mother during the time of uncertainty. George was a soldier in the battle. Sadie and Mollie were both young children at that specific time in history. James was a butcher during that time. Margaret was a stay at home mother who taught her children the necessities to life. As can be seen, these individuals are all different but they were all affected in some way or another when the battle struck. Whether it was themselves, a family member, or a friend, they were all affected by the horrific Battle of Gettysburg.
