A coming of age story of a boy living in Gettysburg just before, during, and just after the Civil War.
Good characters and a nice treatment of the subject. One quibble: the war battle/strategy bits plodded on a bit for me.

A stubborn ex-Confederate soldier spends the rest of his life trying to ruin the Memorial Day parades populated by the Union ex-soliders in his hometown by dressing in his Confederate uniform, despite his pre-war friendship with the men of the town. Another very didactic story.

Pennsylvania, gave me clues as to the events that inducewd my Moravian ancestors to move to the US.
