Description
|
|
|
|
This book describes the people, places, and events behind the Battle of Gettysburg, an epic three-day clash that proved to be the turning point of the Civil War in the East. An introduction sets Gettysburg in historical context, while two fold-out maps show the formations of the July 1863 battle, published shortly afterward, and the modern region, dominated by Gettysburg National Military Park. 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.
