A National Park Service brochure from 1978 offers a visitor's-eye view of Gettysburg National Military Park, pairing a map of the grounds with diagrams that trace the movements of troops during the July 1863 battle. Such pamphlets were the everyday tool for tourists walking the fields, so the fold-out layout and battle sketches show how the park was presented to the public in the late 1970s. The battle itself, fought July 1 through 3, 1863, is often called a turning point of the Civil War, and the park's markers, monuments and roads were laid out to help visitors follow its phases. Looking at the diagrams alongside the map shows how the historical story was translated into a guide for walking the ground.
