Description
|
|
|
|
Waged in December 1862, the Battle of Fredericksburg was a key victory for the Confederate army under Robert E. Lee, and was the Civil War's only major urban battle. This book documents the historic Fredericksburg area and also tours the modern city. An introduction discusses the history and preservation of the present site, while two fold-out maps show a scale map published shortly after the battle and the region today, including historic sites and downtown streets. This guidebook to a key site in American history takes visitors through the physical landscape that exists now and also to the places no longer visible. Color and black and white photos and illustrations appear on nearly every two-page spread, and the book includes a timeline, brief biographies of key figures, and a historical walking tour, along with nearby places to stay, eat, and visit.
