The Life & Death of Jennie Wade will be discussed by historian Timothy Smith at an event at the Adams County Historical Society on Saturday, December 16, from 1:00 p.m. to 2:00 p.m.
The free event will tell the story of the only civilian killed outright in the battle, when a stray bullet hit her while she was baking bread for soldiers captured during the fighting.
The story has captured the imagination of visitors to the battlefield, and Smith will be sharing his knowledge of the life, death, and legacy of Jennie Wade.
