The Gettysburg Experience - Contemporary Realities of the Past as a Civil War Battlefield (Paperback)

July 2013 marks the 150th anniversary of the Battle of Gettysburg. This battle is the experience most people associate with Gettysburg, as if the history of Gettysburg remains unwritten what came before the battle and what happened afterwards. Today, Gettysburg is perceived as a haunted location inhabited by the presence of ghosts who fought there 150 years ago and continue to enact that Civil War struggle today. This book is an evaluation of that perceived experience, suggesting that Gettysburg is much more than a haunted Civil War battleground.
