Tillie Pierce Alleman was fifteen years old at the time of the Battle of Gettysburg. Along with her neighbor, Hettie Shriver, Tillie spent three harrowing days of the battle in a house which sits at the base of the hills between Big Round Top and Little Round Top. Twenty-five years later she recounted her story in what was to become the most remarkable civilian account of the fighting.
