Our trips to Civil War sites with expert guides allow participants to gain a better understanding of the events that occurred on those sites while walking the grounds. We also visit other battlefields in addition to Civil War ones. Our goal is to understand the WHAT and the WHY of each site we visit. For a complete listing of our current programs, click here.

Ed Bearss has been a frequent BGES seminar faculty member and we have videotaped him every step of the way. Fields of Honor was a joint effort between him, BGES and the National Geographic Society to put down in his words the stories of pivotal Civil War battles, based on those videotapes of him on the actual battlefields. BGES members dedicated many hours of their time to transcribe the tapes and Ed then made revisions to shorten the chapters into cogent stores, which he did in a masterly fashion. The book is representative of him and yet merely scratches the surface of material still there. As a stand alone work, it will not disappoint you. To learn more about Fields of Honor, click here.
