Ethan Smith

The Soldier's Tree Ethan Smith

The honey locust tree sits upon a quiet hill overlooking the small town of Gettysburg. When the tree notices some of the town's people leaving, little does it know that the town will become the center of one of the most important moments in United States' history. In this innovative take on history, the battle of Gettysburg is explored through the perspective of a simple tree and stretches beyond the days of the battle to explore themes of loss, freedom, struggle, and strength.
