Описание:

Bicycling Gettysburg National Military Park: The Cyclists Civil War Travel Guide is the one-and-only book that you need to bicycle the Gettysburg battlefield. Take a ride back in time and learn the three-day story of the Battle of Gettysburg (July 1-3, 1863) from the perspective of a bicyclist.

This books 286 full-color pages are packed with 34 maps, hundreds of monument and landscape photographs, and GPS points for a 23.8-mile looped tour over 6,000 acres of park land. Written for experienced and recreational bicyclists alike, this guidebook is a treasure trove of historical summaries that even licensed battlefield guides will enjoy reading and (re)committing to memory.
