"Context and presentation are the central organizing principles around which this study was constructed. Every artifact has been placed alongside other associated with the same time period and/or location on the battlefield. This has allowed me to arrange the book closely following the three day battle chronology with a separate chapter about collecting in the streets of the town. The final chapter examines the products of the best known souvenir makers of the 'Golden Age' of Gettysburg collection (i.e., 1863-1900); a gilded era when the battlefield was scoured to provide materials for a host of stylish shadow boxes, desk ornaments, and similar commercial items ... In the end, this is a simple book with a simple mission: I am using artifacts to tell the story of the battle ... It aspires through an engaging blend of well documented artifacts and contemporary photographs, to tell a compelling story of Gettysburg from a unique vantage point"--P.6.
