Gettysburg is often compressed into heroic names and a few famous moments. This guide restores the battlefield’s geography and chronology: how two armies collided, why specific ridges mattered, where command decisions succeeded or failed, what civilians endured and how monuments and Lincoln’s address transformed three days of combat into a national landscape of memory.
