Gettysburg National Military Park is the subject here, and this brochure pairs its printed map with the battlefield it was meant to guide visitors across. The park was established in 1895 to preserve the ground where Union and Confederate forces fought from July 1 to 3, 1863, a battle that marked the farthest northern advance of the Confederate army and is often considered a turning point of the Civil War. Pamphlets like this one helped tourists trace the lines, monuments, and avenues of the sprawling site, which by the early twentieth century was dotted with memorials placed by veterans and states. Looking closely at the map shows how the park's roads and markers were arranged to tell the story of each day's fighting.
