Hammond's Monumental Guide to the Gettysburg Battlefield is a classic gettysburg battlefield guidebook, a meticulous civil war battlefield guide to every memorial on the gettysburg pennsylvania battlefield. Organised around the roads and avenues of what is now Gettysburg National Military Park, it leads readers across ridges, farms and crossroads while keeping each monument anchored in the landscape. Beginning from the approaches, Hammond describes and locates regimental markers, state memorials and tablets so that a historic site walking tour can follow the flow of the fighting as commemorated in stone and bronze. The detailed index functions as both civil war memorials map and battlefield monuments reference index, invaluable for planning civil war battlefield tours or tracing particular units. Ideal for gettysburg battlefield visitors, civil war history buffs and anyone exploring American Civil War history, it keeps every one of the gettysburg monuments and markers within easy reach. Compiled in the commemorative era after the battle, this guide reflects how veterans and citizens chose to remember Gettysburg, an invaluable document of cultural memory as well as a practical companion on the field. Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions. Restored for today's and future generations. More than a reprint - a collector's item and a cultural treasure.
