EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in 1901, showcases The Battlefield of Gettysburg as it appeared following the momentous clash between the Union and Confederate armies during the American Civil War. The image is derived from Huidekoper's relief map of the battlefield, providing a unique and informative perspective of the hallowed grounds where one of the most decisive battles in U.S. history unfolded. The Battle of Gettysburg, fought from July 1 to July 3, 1863, marked a significant turning point in the Civil War. General George G. Meade's Union forces successfully repelled Confederate General Robert E. Lee's invasion of the North, securing a Union victory and ultimately weakening the Confederacy's morale and resources. In this aerial view, the landscape is dotted with various landmarks that played crucial roles during the three-day battle. Cemetery Hill, Culp's Hill, and Cemetery Ridge stand prominently, while Devil's Den, Little Round Top, and Pickett's Charge are also visible. The meticulously crafted relief map, with its intricate details, allows us to visualize the complex terrain that influenced the strategies and outcomes of the engagements. As we gaze upon this historical image, we are transported back in time, witnessing the battlefield as it was over a century ago. The Battle of Gettysburg remains an essential part of American history, and this photograph offers a captivating glimpse into the events that shaped our nation's past.
