Gettysburg (Images of America)

Gettysburg (Images of America)
- Used Book in Good Condition
Located about ninety minutes from three major metro areasâ€•Washington, Baltimore, and Philadelphiaâ€•Gettysburg sits in the â€œfertile crescent,â€ an area brimming with agricultural possibilities. Founded in the 1700s by James Gettys, the little town became headline material during the Civil War, although area residents never expected to be at the forefront of that controversy. Fate, however, had its way with the town, and Gettysburg found itself on the map permanently. When President Dwight D. Eisenhower retired here, Gettysburg became the place to visit for international tourists as well as Americans. Today, the National Park Service maintains the Gettysburg National Military Park, and the town caters to its visitors. Still imbued with small-country charm, Gettysburg beckons visitors from far and wide and treats them royally.
