A wonderful piece for the holiday, chronicling the brave and selfless caring of one woman for total strangers in the midst of a ferocious battle. If you have ever been to Gettysburg, then you can visualize where this heroine lived and made her contribution to history. It's startling to imagine

A wonderful story about bravery at its highest level. This story, and others in this column, remind us of regular people in American history who step up to serve a noble purpose. Well done Tom as always. Happy Thanksgiving to you and your readers.

Wonderful story. However, the battlefield deaths were just over 7,000 not 40,000.

Thank you. I should have written "as many as 40,000 casualties."
