Memory in black and white : race, commemoration, and the post-bellum landscape
Paul A. Shackel (Author)
This work examines four well-known Civil War-era National Park sites and shows us how public memory shaped their creation and continues to shape their interpretation. It shows that "public memory" is really "public memories", and interpretation may change from one generation to another.
