Tillie Pierce: Eyewitness to the Battle of Gettysburg

The year 1888 marked the 25th anniversary of the Battle of Gettysburg. It was a year of monument dedications and regimental reunions. In an era where histories of the battle were a dime a dozen and being published at an unprecedented rate, Mrs. Matilda Pierce Alleman recorded her reminiscences of the battle from the perspective of a 15-year-old girl. In more recent years her account has been widely reprinted and acclaimed as the best civilian account of the Battle of Gettysburg. Join historian Timothy H. Smith as he conducts his own critical analysis of her extraordinary experiences during the battle. This program was originally recorded on March 29, 2025 at the Adams County Historical Society. --- Purchase Tillie's firsthand account of the battle here: https://tinyurl.com/26k34m4s --- Visit us in-person at Gettysburg Beyond the Battle Museum, recently voted "Best New Museum" by USA TODAY readers and a 2024 Traveler's Choice Winner on TripAdvisor, at 625 Biglerville Road, just north of Gettysburg.
