GUNPOWDER GIRLS: THE TRUE STORIES OF THREE CIVIL WAR TRAGEDIES (2017): With thousands of men off fighting in the Civil War, the government hired women and girls—some as young as ten—to make millions of rounds of ammunition. Poor immigrant girls and widows paid the price for carelessness at three major arsenals. Many of these workers were killed, blown up and burned beyond recognition.
“Gunpowder Girls” tells an amazing war story that finally gives its subjects their due. Hidden history comes alive through primary-source research and page-turning narrative. “Gunpowder Girls” is a story of child labor and immigrant hopes and the cruel, endless demands of an all-consuming war. (Ages 12+)

TILLIE PIERCE: TEEN EYEWITNESS TO THE BATTLE OF GETTYSBURG (2017): Just 15 years old when the war came to Gettysburg, Pennsyvlvania, Tillie Pierce watched as the Confederate and Union armies took turns capturing her town, stealing everything in sight, and turning homes into blood-soaked field hospitals. She remembered every moment and wrote it down. Anderson tells her story and adds more facts, maps, and photos about this famous battle. (Ages 12+)
