Gettysburg Stories

"There's not much you can do when you're free-falling through time and space except to scream and hope someone will hear you. You may also get the feeling that you're riding a roller coaster in zero gravity. I closed my eyes to shield them from the blazing light, but only managed to further my headache. Time travel should come with a warning label." Natalie Brice and Aidan Ceevs never imagined they'd see a living dinosaur, and certainly never wanted to visit Ancient Rome on a hot and humid summer day. But after a mysterious figure sends the duo into an illegal, untested and possibly radioactive time machine, they embark unwilling on an adventure through time with only one goal in mind - getting back to the present, especially before time runs out. NOTE: THE TIME TRAVELING DOES NOT START UNTIL THE END OF CHAPTER TWO.

On November 19, 1863, in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, amid the American Civil War, President Abraham Lincoln delivered a profoundly important speech during the dedication of a military cemetery. This momentous occasion occurred four and a half months after the Union emerged victorious against the Confederates in the Battle of Gettysburg, the deadliest conflict of the Civil War. The nation, weary and sorrowful due to the ongoing war, gathered for this solemn event. In a brief yet impactful address, Lincoln reminded the audience of the imperative to persevere in the Union's fight and underscored the crucial nature of winning the Civil War. His eloquent and accessible words resonated deeply, making his speech among the most renowned in American history.

Emeline "Emma" Adams is an eighteen year old girl living in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania with her aunt Violet, having been sent there by her mother two years before from Marblehead, Ohio. Her friend and fiancé, Peter Shepard, left for the war in 1861, which will surely be over by Christmas. Life has flipped on it's head for Emma, but nothing prepared her for the first few days in July, 1863, when the war arrived on her door steps. Certainly not for battered and bleeding man strung along her cellar stairs. Keeping a Union soldier is dangerous, and Emma understands that it could be life or death. But as the Battle progresses, it becomes clear not only to Emma but to all citizens of the sleepy farm town that every step they take now decides their fate. Even so, an opportunity presents itself: as a handsome stranger takes refuge in her Aunt's home, Emma feels oddly drawn to the southern sympathizer. She has a choice to make: either stay in the sleepy farming town, or have a life of adventure with the visitor?

Set in the era of the Civil War, Ann has always struggled with her position in life.

In a whirlwind decision, she decides to disguise herself as a male soldier, impersonating Martin and going off to war. Florence is an African-American girl with a fire in her heart. She's gutsy, with enough bravado to put the mightiest warriors to shame. A long-time friend of Ann's, Florence knows how it feels to be looked down on. But she can feel her warrior's heart inside her, urging her to fight in the Civil War, to fight for the freedom of her people. Unleashed anger and frustration burn in her bloodstream, begging to be set free. But how can she fight, when she's just a girl? Hugh is a seemingly selfish, self-conceded Southern boy who has been conscripted to fight the North. As the war rages on, he struggles to choose a side, indecision tearing at him. He knows that while one choice might be morally right, he knows that choosing that side could rip him from the beliefs his family has instilled in him since the day he was born. In a brutal twist of fate, all three of their lives collide, when Hugh, Florence, and Ann meet each other on the bloody battlefield of Gettysburg. But will they put aside their prejudices for survival? Or will they let themselves be torn apart by the worries and doubt that cloud all their minds?

“I came from way down yonder With my musket on my knee I’m going to the war My homeland for to free It rained all night the day I left, The weather it was dry, The sun so hot I froze to death; Susanna, don’t you cry.”
