The Ties of the Past : The Gettysburg Diaries of Salome Myers Stewart, 1854-1922

Rating:
Summary: excellent recount of civil war
Review: I think this book is one of the best recounts of civil war life, especially from a younger point of view. I am a native of Gettysburg so I have heard all the stories, but this book is one of the best I've read so far. The fisrt-hand telling is captivating and beautifully written. I highly recommend this book to anyone interested in life from years past.

Summary: Fascinating book!
Review: This book gives a first hand look at life in the small town of Gettysburg during the Civil War years. The diaries of a sixteen year old girl give a fascinating insight into everyday life in this era. The commentary by the author, who interestingly is the diary keeper's great-great-grandaughter, adds immensely to this very interesting book

Review: This book was wonderful. As a novice lady civil war re-enactor (civilian) this gave great insight to the times and to this wonderful woman, Sallie M. Stewart. I could only wish more information on Sallie. Is there a way to contact the author?
