A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

At the time the battle of Gettysburg was fought, the lines of battle ran across the country regardless of roads, and often led through unfrequented localities, which were nearly inaccessible to the visitor until the Battle-field Memorial Association opened new driveways to them. Hence in time the new and the old would have become confounded. Fortunately, the author commenced a careful isometrical sketch of the field at once and completed it, and published his Isometrical Drawing before any changes in the topography had been made before new roads were built, or houses erected. Hence, when subsequent improvements become old, and questions arise, all will turn to the Isometrical Drawing to settle them; and thus its value will increase year by year. This drawing also serves the purpose of indicating just where each command was in position on each day, which is plainly shown by the I ndex; and those commands that have monuments at Gettysburg are marked with a star.
