Farms at Gettysburg
The Fields of Battle

compiled by: Tim Smith

Although the Battle of Gettysburg is named for the town near which it occurred, most of the heavy fighting actually occurred in the fields of Cumberland Township, Pennsylvania. It was on the private property of men such as Edward McPherson, Joseph Sherfy and Nicholas Codori that some of the most intense fighting in American history took place. Their farms suffered great damage as a result of the fighting, their structures were used as hospitals and their fields were converted into graveyards. Following the battle, however, little sympathy was given to their plight and little attempt was made by state or federal authorities to compensate them for their losses. In books written about the battle they have been maligned and scorned, and in general, history has not treated them well. But, like the soldiers who fought in the battle, their lives were also changed forever by the events that occurred during the first three days of July 1863. Contained in this volume are ninety rare photographs and drawings of the farms of the Gettysburg Battlefield. These farms are silent witnesses to the carnage of the summer of 1863. Proceeds benefit the Adams County Historical Society.

Over twenty tour stops, five maps, and 40 photographs make this book a must for all Little Round Top enthusiasts.

The Myth of Little Round Top
by Garry Adelman

Little Round Top is one of the most well-known Civil War sites. Popularized by soldiers, historians, novelists, and film makers, the small hill south of Gettysburg has often been called the "key" to the Union position at Gettysburg. Many have suggested that had the Confederates captured the hill, the United States would have been forever split in two. Why has Little Round Top become so important in the minds of Americans? Was the hill of great military significance? What could the Confederates have accomplished with Little Round Top in their possession? For the first time, Garry Adelman traces the growth of the popularity of the hill and assesses the military situation at the time when Little Round Top almost falls into Confederate hands. He convincingly argues that the popular story of Little Round Top is, indeed, a myth.
