Few places in the country carry as much weight as the fields around Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, where the Union and Confederate armies fought from July 1 to July 3, 1863. This picture shows a Civil War cannon standing in an open field, a reminder of how artillery shaped the battle, since guns like this one were moved along ridges and stone walls to hold ground and break attacks. Over the following decades the battlefield became a national military park, and its monuments and preserved positions still draw visitors who want to see the terrain for themselves.
