About Civil War Battlefields

Most of these places were farms and crossroads towns before 1861. The Sherfys had a peach orchard at Gettysburg, and the Dunkers, a German Baptist congregation, kept their small white church at Antietam. Both woke up one morning to find their fields on the map forever. Walk any of these grounds today and what stays with you is how quiet and ordinary they look.
