Letter Home From Gettysburg: An Exercise in Historical Fiction · 10:56pm Jul 12th, 2023
The following is the transcription of the letter I received at the Gettysburg Reenactment, that was written up by the staff as a kind of immersive gift to the reenactors, and the letter I've written in response to it. It's been a fun little exercise in writing historical fiction again. Enjoy!
