These are just some of the battlefields which, soon after the end of the Civil War, were set aside as memorials to "the brave men, living and dead," who took part in the war between the states.

Today, five score years and ten after the last shot was fired, the names still echo like a drumroll through the corridors of time, and millions of visitors every year stand transfixed, awed by the landscape's terrible majesty, where once the soldiers of the North and South gave their "last full measure of devotion."

-Official National Parks Service maps.
