A printed text page rather than a picture, this item comes from a book describing the town of Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, and the fighting that began there on July 1, 1863. That first day, Union cavalry under John Buford held the ridges west of town until infantry arrived, and the battle grew as Confederate forces pressed in from the west and north. Pages like this one, which pair description with illustration, helped readers at the time picture a small farming town that became the site of one of the war's most important battles.
