Visit key Civil War sites on an eight-day bus tour with fellow EMU students earning credits in an accelerated, one-week format. See five major battlefields and small engagement sites of the eastern theater. Study the soldier’s perspective with tours and discussions emphasizing how individual soldiers and small unit action led to success or failure. Besides visiting the actual sites of conflict, you’ll study primary documents written by participants. Major stops include Gettysburg, Penn.; Hagerstown, Md.; Washington, D.C. and Richmond, Petersburg, Fredericksburg and Spotsylvania, Va.
