Outskirts Press Announces the Publication of Modern Day Gettysburg from Oceanside, NY Author Lisa C. Phillips

Oceanside, NY, November 26, 2008 --(PR.com)-- Author Lisa C. Phillips takes the reader on an exciting journey of Gettysburg in the 21st century. Utilizing over 100 color photographs, Gettysburg, Pennsylvania comes alive with the wonders of yesteryear and the scenic beauty of today.

To quote author Lisa C. Phillips, “It [Gettysburg] is the most famous little town in America.” Now, even though other towns may compete for this distinction, to walk the 26 miles of battlefield in Gettysburg and its inspiring surroundings brings about a sense of freedom for all mankind. The site of the largest conflict ever waged during the American Civil War is the most visited, most written about, and the most intensely studied battlefield ever recorded. Historians have referred to the Battle of Gettysburg as a major turning point in the war, the “High Water Mark of the Confederacy”. Sadly, it was also the bloodiest single battle, resulting in over 51,000 killed, wounded, captured or missing.

In Modern Day Gettysburg, Phillips has combined eloquent descriptions, historical facts and breathtaking photos of the scenic roads, the town of Gettysburg, the 5,744-acre Gettysburg National Park, and the Gettysburg National Cemetery, dedicated in 1863 by President Lincoln when he delivered the Gettysburg Address.

The reader will feel as though they are actually exploring the town and walking the battlefield as each page is turned. Not just for the history buff, Modern Day Gettysburg is another important contribution to a time and place forever engraved in the history of America.
