He also details how the battlefield and the town of Gettysburg itself evolved into a bustling tourist destination almost immediately after the end of the Civil War. Tune in as they explore the significance of many of the Ordinary Extraordinary monuments scattered across the battlefield that honor not only those who died during the Civil War, but in all the wars fought by America since becoming one of the nation's national cemeteries.
