Gettysburg in the late 1800s was a small Pennsylvania county seat, and this view captures its streets as they looked in the years after the battle that took place there in July 1863. The stone walls and canvas tents in the scene reflect how much of the town and its surrounding fields were still tied to the fighting, since veterans, reunion visitors and military encampments returned to the area for decades. Gettysburg's first day, July 1, began when Union cavalry under John Buford met Confederate troops on the roads west and north of town. Look closely at the walls and tents, which show how the landscape remained a place of memory long after the guns fell silent.
