Description
Fighting the Second Civil War: A history of battlefield preservation and the emergence of the Civil War Trust is the remarkable story of how a grassroots citizens group dedicated to saving America's battlefields became the largest and most effective heritage land preservation organization in the world. In 30 years, from nothing but a good idea and the hard work of dedicated history lovers, the movement now led by the Civil War Trust has saved from encroaching development some 45,000 acres - more than 70 square miles - at 132 American Civil War, Revolutionary War and War of 1812 battlefields. Fueled by the generosity of its 47,000 members, the Trust maintains a steady drumbeat of acquisitions and leads the way in education, teacher workshops and heritage tourism. Its civilwar.org website is brimming with information on battles and battlefields, fascinating animated maps, videos and much more, while the Trust's smart phone Battle App Guides unlock history on the battlefield or at home. The Trust has been a Charity Navigator "Four Star Charity," the highest rating, for seven years running, an achievement attained by only the top two percent of charities. Enjoy our fascinating, rough-and-tumble history and support our cause!
