Sunrise at Seminary Ridge - Paperback

by James A. Wynne (Author)

Jacob Zook, an eighteen-year-old Amish farm boy, feels trapped between

his religious heritage and his fascination with the world outside of his small

Pennsylvania town. These feelings bring him into direct conflict with his very

traditional father, who tries to raise his family by the rules of 'the Ordnung, '

even though they are living in exile away from the Amish community/Jacob's

only option is to leave his family, including his beloved mother and younger

brother, Abraham, in order to set out and make a new life for himself.

Unfortunately for Jacob, he embarks on this adventure on the 29th of

June, 1863. He has no way of knowing it, but his entire world is about to be

turned upside down during the first three days of July-in the small town he

calls home... Gettysburg.
