Summer Storm in Gettysburg tells the story of Jennie Wade, the one civilian casualty in the terrible civil war battle.
In 1853 a band of children set off on a midnight adventure in the woods around Gettysburg, Pennsylvania. This group included Jennie Wade, her older sister, Georgia, her younger brother, Samuel, and her two friends, Jack Skelly and Wesley Culp. Ten years later, we meet Jack and Wesley on a Virginia battlefield, where fate has cast them as enemies. Wesley is a Confederate soldier and Jack is a mortally wounded Yankee. Jack asks his one-time playmate to deliver a letter to Jennie back home in Gettysburg. Although Wesley does make it back to the familiar Pennsylvania farmlands of his boyhood, he is not able to deliver the message from Jack to his betrothed. The war has come directly to Jennie’s door with the summer storm engulfing Gettysburg. ISBN: 1-58244-123-5 Price: $17.95; Softcover edition
