At Gettysburg: Or, What a Girl Saw and Heard of the Battle is a Civil War eyewitness memoir by Matilda Tillie Pierce Alleman, who was a young resident of Gettysburg during the July 1863 battle. Written years after the event, the book records what she remembered seeing, hearing, and feeling as armies entered the town, fighting spread across nearby fields, and civilian households were drawn into the emergency of caring for wounded soldiers. Its purpose is not to provide a strategic military history, but to preserve a civilian and adolescent perspective on one of the most studied battles in American history. The work is valuable because it places the familiar landmarks of Gettysburg within the lived experience of townspeople who faced fear, displacement, uncertainty, and exposure to mass suffering. As a primary source, it helps readers understand how war entered domestic spaces and how ordinary people interpreted events unfolding around them.
