Something Abides: Controversies on the Early Gettysburg Battlefield
Ranger Erica Uszak, National Park Service Historic Preservation Training Center
Gettysburg was one of the first Civil War battlefields to be established as a national military park—a result of Civil War veterans who feared that they would be forgotten. However, this achievement masked bitter arguments over how to preserve the battlefield, where to place each monument, and who deserved to be recognized. Discover the battle for the memory of Gettysburg, waged by these veterans with literature, litigation, and legislation.
