America’s Best Idea Needs Your Help
February 16, 2025
A message from the Board of Directors of the Civil War Roundtable of Eastern Pa., Inc .
For almost 50 years, the Civil War Roundtable has been dedicated to the fight of preserving American battlefield land and the legacy of our nation’s defining conflict. The following opinion piece by Ryan Quint expresses a concern we share for the future of the park service, and in particular the battlefields whose preservation we work to support. We are therefore grateful to Emerging Civil War for its recently published post, which we share for your consideration.
