The book delves into the history of the Chickamauga battlefield, the first federally preserved national military park in the U.S. It explores the evolution of battlefield preservation from private and state efforts to significant federal involvement beginning in 1890. The narrative highlights the park's dual role as a memorial for soldiers and a site for military training, fostering reconciliation between North and South. Through this lens, it examines the creation of historical memory surrounding the battle and its lasting impact on preservation efforts today.
