1945 Jennie Wade House Gettysburg Pennsylvania Vintage Postcard

1945. On the morning of July 3rd, near 8:30 am, Mary Virginia “Jennie” Wade was shot dead while kneading dough in her sister's kitchen on East Cemetery Hill. She was the only civilian killed during the Battle of Gettysburg. Today, Jennie is buried near Jack in the Evergreen Cemetery. A monument marks her resting place, as well as a perpetual American flag that flies day and night. The only other woman to claim that honor is Betsy Ross. American Civil War. This vintage linen lithograph postcard would look great framed or make an excellent addition to any collection.
