Elizabeth Thorn of Gettysburg

The Wartime Caretaker of Evergreen Cemetery

Beschreibung

This is the remarkable story of civilian Elizabeth Thorn: a six-month-pregnant mother, caretaker of aging parents, and head of household, who would dig nearly 100 soldiers' graves in Gettysburg's Evergreen Cemetery in the stinking heat and aftermath of the 1863 Battle of Gettysburg. The historic burial ground would acquire national fame.
