À propos de cet ebook

Leah’s sister Sarah is on her way to that quaint little Pennsylvania town of Gettysburg to help out an old friend. Tom, who is Jeff’s brother and the soldier Sarah loves, is also headed to Gettysburg, but with the Army of Northern Virginia. Neither of them know that the Northern and Southern troops are about to clash at peaceful little Gettysburg in the bloodiest battle of the Civil War. As Tom fights his way into town, he sees a girl running, threatened by the deadly shells, and is shocked to recognize her as Sarah. Share their fears, their heartbreak. Learn what they learn--that God is with His people even when life gets rough.

The Gallant Boys of Gettysburg is the sixth of a ten book series, that tells the story of two close families find themselves on different sides of the Civil War after the fall of Fort Sumter in April 1861. Thirteen year old Leah becomes a helper in the Union army with her father, who hopes to distribute Bibles to the troops. Fourteen year old Jeff becomes a drummer boy in the Confederate Army and struggles with faith while experiencing personal hardship and tragedy.  The series follows Leah, Jeff, family, and friends, as they experience hope and God’s grace through four years of war.
