Historical Context: This pamphlet reflects the early efforts to preserve key Civil War battlefields as part of the National Park Service’s mission. The Battle of Fredericksburg and the surrounding engagements were among the most significant of the Civil War, with heavy casualties on both sides. This document advocates for the preservation of these sacred grounds, where pivotal moments in American history took place, such as General Robert E. Lee’s defense of Fredericksburg and the bloody fighting in the Wilderness. The establishment of a national park would ensure that these historic sites were remembered and properly maintained for future generations.

This is a rare and fascinating piece of early 20th-century preservation history, tied to the broader movement to protect and memorialize Civil War battlefields.
