"Liberty Augusta Hollinger was a sixteen-year old girl living in Gettysburg when the greatest battle ever fought on the North American continent erupted around her. With courage and strength, she dealt with trials of occupation by the invading Confederate army. In her own front yard she was a witness to the fears of the South's greatest general, Robert E. Lee. For three days she lived with the horror of battle. After the armies departed she gave herself to the task of caring for the wounded they left behind."--Back cover.
