Embattled Grounds

History records more than 10,000 Civil War battles. In 1993 a government commission identified some 400 battlefields it deemed worthy of protection. Since then more than 50 of those have been preserved to some degree, while 65 are fragmented or lost. Many of the rest remain threatened.
