2016.
In this book, I noticed that there were a lot of pictures on there that were taken at the
actual civil war. I learned a lot about what it was like to be a person living at Gettysburg
during the Battle of Gettysburg. This book also helped me understand the importance of
women in the civil war; cleaning, cooking, and taking care of the sick and injured.

This was a very detailed source and it had many chapters on all different aspects of the
battle. This source was helpful for finding any specific details for filling any gaps of
information created by a lack of information in other sources. It was credible, as the
general knowledge had met up with what I had read elsewhere, and the book was
copyrighted.

Gaines, Ann. The Battle of Gettysburg in American History. Enslow Publishers, 2001.
This source was similar to my other book source because of the fact that it was a source

support my thesis. Along with this, it provided information that was needed in order to
add to my NHD project.

also helped me understand the importance of winning this war for both sides.

Hull, Mary. The Union and the Civil War in American History. Berkeley Heights, Nj,
Enslow Publishers, 2000.
This book was an incredible source because it had lots of information. It had several
chapters on all aspects of the battle, analyzing both the Confederacy and the Union. It
examined their battle strategies and explained how and why the Union prevailed. Because
it was a book specialized in the Union and Civil War, the author had more than just the
general information about the battle. In addition to using secondary sources to strengthen
their information abundance, they also used primary sources, statistics, and primary
photographs from the war to support the information being conveyed in the book.
Johnson, Neil. The Battle of Gettysburg. Simon & Schuster Books For Young Readers, 1989.
This book was pretty unique among all the other sources, it helped me understand a
different point of view of the battle. This book helped me understand the U.S.A.’s
geography back then and how it affected the Battle of Gettysburg. I also learned which
states were Confederate and which states were Union.

Kantor, MacKinlay. Gettysburg. Landmark Books, 1987.


This source was helpful because it provided a lot of information about the battle of
Gettysburg, as well as the fact that its points correspond with the main areas stated in my
thesis. This meant that it would be a good source to use when trying to support my thesis
in my project.
Murphy, Jim. The Long Road to Gettysburg. Scholastic, 1992.
This book was a great source to use because it helped me understand a lot of the battle
from the Confederate point of view and it had a lot of historical images taken at the Battle
of Gettysburg. This book helped me understand more about all the events leading up to
the Battle of Gettysburg.

Encyclopedia Source:

Hartwig, Scott. “Gettysburg Campaign.” Encyclopedia Virginia, 2014.


This source was useful because it contained a lot of information about the battle, ranging
from statistics to perspectives. It was a good source to use because of its range of
information.

/2013/04/26/539125d8-ab60-11e2-a8b9-2a63d75b5459_story.html.
This was a quite useful source, as it came from a reputable periodical and the information
was decently detailed. The writer seems to have pretty good expertise because they are
giving a lot of information that I didn’t find in other sources. The article was from a
renowned periodical so I know it is a credible source. However, I don’t think that had the
most expertise on this topic because it was an article written in a periodical, not a
specialty topic or website solely devoted to this topic. However, one topic this article did
touch upon that I didn’t find in other sources, is the battle’s aftermath. It illustrated how
even after the battle was over, and the war had ended, America was still split and
discrimination continued.
Editors, Evening Star. “Washington DC Newspaper Breaks News of the Start of the Battle of
Gettysburg.” Washington DC Newspaper Breaks News of the Start of the Battle of
Gettysburg, 2018,
www.newspapers.com/clip/20133583/washington_dc_newspaper_breaks_news_of/.
This clipping from a newspaper is a very useful source because it shows us how people
knew about battles in the Civil War during the mid - 1800’s; via a newspaper. We can also
see how people who lived back then felt about the Battle of Gettysburg and the emotions
they felt.

caster/article_99a5e2bc-94bb-5383-897e-95694a5b5d7b.html.
This source showed me the perspective of the Battle of Gettysburg from the eyes of those
who were physically there to experience it. This newspaper was published just a week
after the Battle of Gettysburg, so it was able to fully convey all of the information that it
had received from the battle into words. This helped me because I was able to see that the
source was trustworthy, and therefore good to use in my project. This source also focuses
on the main ideas in our thesis, so it is ideal.

Kelly, Anne. “A Cutting-Edge Second Look at the Battle of Gettysburg.” Smithsonian,

burg-1-180947921/.
This source was exceptionally useful as it represented the information on an interactive
map. It made consuming the information regarding the positions of the Confederates and
the Union easy. Also, it greatly contributes information relevant to our thesis, as the
places where the two sides fought and took refuge is very relevant to the outcome of the
battle. Additionally, The author uses a very excellent variety of evidence. They use
statistics, and interactive maps, and first-hand experiences in their article. Because of this,
there are many more aspects to be seen and understood. For example, I learned that the
Union Soldiers won partially due to their wit, and partially due to their opponents’
neglectfulness.

Shanker, Thom. “The Times at Gettysburg, July 1863: A Reporter’s Civil War Heartbreak.” The

www.nytimes.com/2018/07/04/insider/the-times-at-gettysburg-july-1863-a-reporters-civil
-war-heartbreak.html.
This was a great source, as it came from an honorable periodical, and it reflected on the
battle as something reminiscent of the American past. It gave great insights into how the
battle in some ways split America apart, and in some ways glued America back together.
However, again, it wasn’t a primary or specialty source, so it covered the vast amounts of
the effects of the battler but barely touched upon other aspects of the war. However, it
was still greatly useful because few other sources that I came upon profoundly expressed
the effects of the battle on America as a nation, and on the American people.

Documentary Source:

History.com Editors. “Battle of Gettysburg.” HISTORY DOCUMENTARY, 13 Sept. 2018,


www.history.com/topics/american-civil-war/battle-of-gettysburg.
This documentary was an amazing source because it went into detail regarding how and
why the Union Army defeated the Confederacy. It also provided detailed statistics. The
writer has good expertise because the website from which I achieved this documentary is
a renowned encyclopedia strictly for historical means. For this reason, I believe that the
writer that produces the material on this website has great knowledge as this is their
specialty, and therefore I can assume the information is very credible. Additionally, what
the author says seems very logical, as it matches up with the things I’ve seen on other
documents. Also, this seemed to have almost all the details I needed for the notes and
examination I did of the source.

“Battle of Gettysburg.” Battle of Gettysburg, A&E Television Networks, 13 Sept. 2018,

This website is credible because this website specifically is known for its trustworthy
information. Along with this, it provides reliable and needed information that I will be
able to use in my project.

“Battle of Gettysburg Facts & Summary.” American Battlefield Trust, 3 July 2018,
www.battlefields.org/learn/civil-war/battles/gettysburg.
On this website, I learned a lot about statistics that relate to the Battle of Gettysburg, like
casualties and many other facts. This website also did a pretty good job of summarizing
each day of the battle and making it easier for me to understand the battle.

“Battle Of Gettysburg.” HistoryNet, www.historynet.com/battle-of-gettysburg.


In this website, I learned a lot about the basics of the Battle of Gettysburg; about the
places people fought in, the leaders of both armies, and the events leading up to the battle
as well as the aftermath of the battle.

Editors, The History Place. “The History Place; Battle of Gettysburg.” The History Place - Battle
of Gettysburg, 1996, www.historyplace.com/civilwar/battle.htm.
This website was an excellent secondary source as it covered some vital points on the
Battle of Gettysburg that I couldn’t find in my other sources. This website seems
credible, as most of the information seems true and valid. Most importantly, it refers to
the Gettysburg Address, which was Abraham Lincoln’s way of connecting with the
families who lost their loved ones during the Civil War.

Hawks, Steve. “Unusual Gettysburg Facts.” The Battle of Gettysburg, Stone Sentinels, 2015,
gettysburg.stonesentinels.com/battle-of-gettysburg-facts/more-gettysburg-facts/.
Accessed 30 Dec. 2019.
This source gave me a perspective on things that I hadn’t known yet about the Battle of
Gettysburg. The facts shown on the site were unique, hence the name Unusual Gettysburg
Facts.

The Editors of the Encyclopedia Britannica. “Battle of Gettysburg | Summary, Casualties, &
Facts.”
Encyclopædia Britannica, 5 Dec. 2018, www.britannica.com/event/Battle-of-Gettysburg.
This was a useful source as it covered most of the aspects of the Battle of Gettysburg. It
explored the different views of the time and helped the general audience understand the
battle tactics used at the time. However, since it was an encyclopedia source, it didn’t
have any special information. Additionally, the writer isn’t a specialist and has pretty
decent expertise on the topic. Because of this, the information is valid and covers the
general knowledge of the major battle. However, it doesn’t go in dept and show different
aspects of the war. For example, it doesn’t provide specific information about how the
soldiers were treated, and how their morale went through the heights of battle. Also, for
the most part, it doesn’t really clearly state the motives of the Confederates and their
reasoning for attacking in the North. It gives a brief summary of why, but it really doesn’t
go into detail.

Primary Documents and Image Sources:

Harvest Of Death”: 33 Haunting Photos Of The Battle Of Gettysburg, 2018,
allthatsinteresting.com/battle-of-gettysburg-photos.
This primary source image was a good source because it was an image taken at the Battle
of Gettysburg, arguably one of a field hospital that would treat injured soldiers during
battle. This picture seems to have some important people, and one may be the general of
one of the armies.

Editors, DPLA. “Excerpts from the Diary of Union Soldier Nathaniel Rollins about Being Taken
Prisoner during the Battle of Gettysburg, June 30-July 6, 1863. | DPLA.” Dp.La, 2017,
dp.la/primary-source-sets/battle-of-gettysburg/sources/1470.
This was a very useful source, because it consisted of journal entries from a Union
Soldier, regarding the Battle of Gettysburg and its impacts on the soldiers. It was also
very detailed, and he described the Confederates’ attempt to outwit and destroy the Union
position. I think the writer, in this case, has excellent expertise because they were alive
while the battle was still happening. For this reason, I think this is probably the most
credible source since the information is firsthand and untainted by time.

Editors, National Parks. “Gettysburg National Military Park.” National Park Foundation, 2020,
www.nationalparks.org/explore-parks/gettysburg-national-military-park. Accessed 5 Jan.
2020.
The section that I analyzed took notes on was contemporary to the time in which this
nation-changing battle occurred. As my source, I used the Gettysburg Address, given by
President Lincoln on November 19, 1863. I think the writer in this instance has a great
deal of knowledge because Lincoln was alive when this happened. Because of this, his
speech discloses many details otherwise forgotten, such as the state of the American
people and what they were feeling. This source was very useful in the sense that it really
wasn’t about evidence. His evidence is the fact that he lived through all of these horrible
struggles and knows what the nation feels like and is going through. Therefore, I think
that for the most part, his evidence is that he is a contemporary and knows firsthand what
is happening.

Fink, Lisa. “The Gettysburg Address.” The Gettysburg Address, 2019,


ncte.org/blog/2019/11/the-gettysburg-address/.
The Gettysburg Address was an excellent primary source because it shows president
Lincoln’s thoughts on the Battle of Gettysburg. This source also shows how the war was
dividing the nation during that time, mostly due to the issue of slavery.

Heiser, John. Gettysburg: The High Water Mark of the Confederacy. Gettysburg: The High Water
Mark of the Confederacy, Gettysburg National Military Park, 2007
This source was one written by a member of the Gettysburg National Military Park, so
clearly I realized they must have some experience in regards to their knowledge on the
Battle of Gettysburg. Along with this, by working for a government-controlled
association, their words would probably not have been published if they were not
trustworthy. Another thing I like about this source is that the author doesn’t focus on the
usual information the other sources used, but rather he uses his own perspective on the
battle to convey information to the reader.

“History & Culture - Gettysburg National Military Park (U.S. National Park Service).” Nps.Gov,
2016,
www.nps.gov/gett/learn/historyculture/index.htm.
This source was useful because it provided information that none of my other sources
provided; a look into the conditions of the burial of the dead soldiers following the battle.
It showed me information that I would not have been able to gather if I hadn’t used the
source.

“Letters Describing the Battles of Gettysburg and Vicksburg : Manuscripts and Special
Collections:
New York State Library.”
Nysed.Gov, 2013, www.nysl.nysed.gov/mssc/cwletters/index.html.
This was an incredible primary source, as it was a source that consisted of letters sent
during the Battle of Gettysburg. Because there were several letters compiled, I was able
to examine and understand the aspects of different people firsthand. The source consists
of a letter sent during the Battle of Gettysburg. The writer’s expertise is that they have
been fighting in the battle, and are getting a first-hand experience of what being in the
battle was like. Because of this, I feel this source is by far the most revealing when it
comes to smaller details only the soldiers felt and suffered. It captures the true conditions,
and the true experience the soldiers felt and experienced when they were fighting for their
views, and what they thought constituted America. Additionally, it contains their personal
thoughts and feelings, when sending letters to their families, and their outlooks on the
battle and the war.
