I survived the battle of Gettysburg By Lauren Tarshis.
In 1863 Thomas and his sister Birdie were slaves in Virginia. Thomas was going to be taken away so Thomas and Birdie ran away.Following the north star they had to hide to escape slave hunters.They find a union soldier who helped them named,Corporal Henry green.The soldiers get called to battle,and Thomas fought with them.Birdie got taken by the confederate soldiers and chained up against poles.Thomas found and rescued birdie.They found them a safe spot in Pennsylvania and were free.
My opinion of the book I survived the battle of Gettysburg is it was a scary time to live and especially as a slave. It would make me sad to have my family sold and taken away.It also would scare me to have to fight in a war.
