A field guide to help you find forty 200-year-old trees that were alive in 1863 to witness the fighting at the Battle of Gettysburg over July 1-3, 1863.

This 72-page full-color booklet focuses on those still-living trees that were present for both the terrible fighting in Herbst Woods on the first day of the battle and for the climactic moment of the battle, the assault known as Pickett’s Charge, which occurred on the afternoon of July 3. Inside you will find maps, street views of the trees, and written directions to help you find each and every witness tree. Incredible then-and-now photographic comparisons featuring turn-of-the-20th-century images are also presented for each tree.
