Though this website is mainly dedicated to The Battle of Gettysburg and The Battlefield , I though it would be fitting to add information about other Battles and Battlefields of The American Civil War.

It was the greatest war in American history. Over 3 million fought - 600,000 died. It was the only war fought on American soil by Americans, and for that reason we have always been fascinated with The Civil War. Thousands of books, movies and documentaries have (and are) being created about this war. With the advent of the internet, we now have yet another tool to study every single event in this great period of American history.

I thought that I would add in The Civil War Prisons since part of the War was the capture and imprisonment of Northern and southern men. In fact many of the casuties were men who died of starvation and illness in prisons.
