“Dickens, sister of Jedidiah Dickens who has trusted her with the keeping of his journal, as he has gone to help our Uncle Jack hide his horses from Confederate raiders who roam the countryside.I, Virginia B. Dickens, am sitting on top of Cemetery Hill in the town of Gettysburg, in the State of Pennsylvania.Songbirds. Gravestones. Blue sky. Green grass.4LaterI do not know what else to say.I have been sitting here on Cemetery Hill for half an hour.Jed told me that I am to write what I hear and wh...at I see. He told me to write what I truly feel and truly think. Above all, Jed said, be honest.Well, to be honest, I don't think I have heard or seen anything worth writing about.All I hear are birds singing the same songs over and over.All 1 see are old tombstones. One of them has my mother's name on it.What do I truly feel?Right now I truly feel a little angry at Jed and Pa for going to Uncle Jack's without me.Pa said he did not want to put me in harm's5way. So I am to stay at Reverend McCully's for a few days, until Pa and Jed get back.For goodness sakes, Pa!MoreLessRead More Read Less
