The odd grassy mound between the long ridges south of Gettysburg might
arouse the curiosity of a visitor, but the site of the Bliss Farm lies
hundreds of yards from modern tour routs. Certainly, more infamous
sites on the battlefield vie for one’s attention, and the struggle
fro this once prosperous homestead is easily overlooked. Yet, on July
2 & 3, 1863, the incongruously named farm was a no-man’s land that
changed hands some ten times – possibly more than any other ground
at Gettysburg. The reader is invited to tour this seldom explored area
of the battlefield using maps, photos, and first-hand accounts to
discover how that struggle impacted Lee’s plan for victory, the
lives of those who fought there, and the Bliss family.
