I Survived the Battle of Gettysburg, 1863 by Lauren Tarshis

4.0

I read this one for my niece as well. Admittedly, I don’t love this series, but I appreciated this one. Tarshish includes many more historical references and addresses death and loss in a realistic, yet age-appropriate way. She also gives a frank assertion in her notes about the cause of the Civil War being about slavery and condemns the institution of slavery. It should seem obvious that someone does that, but we’ve all learned that folks will twist themselves in knots to provide other reasons for the war.
