| Summary | "Gettysburg: Stories of the Red Harvest and the Aftermath" by Elsie Singmaster is a collection of historical narratives written in the early 20th century. The work focuses on the significant events surrounding the Battle of Gettysburg during the American Civil War and its aftermath, exploring themes of conflict and personal loss through the eyes of various characters experiencing the turmoil of war. At the start of the collection, readers meet Mary Bowman, a mother anxiously awaiting news of her husband serving in the war. Set against the backdrop of a town bracing for a potential battle, Mary navigates her fears as she witnesses the movements of Union soldiers and the haunting presence of Confederate raiders. Her internal struggles reflect the broader effects of war on individuals and communities, as the narrative reveals her hopes for the safety of her family amidst an impending crisis that threatens to unravel their lives. The opening section establishes a poignant atmosphere, filled with a mix of anticipation and dread, setting the stage for the complex human experiences that will unfold throughout the rest of the stories.
