Over the course of three days in July 1863, a small town in south-central Pennsylvania became a household name: Gettysburg. Thousands of books have been written about the battle that made Gettysburg famous. This edition of 101 Travel Bits focuses not on the battle, but on the town as it was before, during, and after it became America’s most famous battlefield—a town you can still visit today. Let this edition of 101 Travel Bits™ be your guide to the world of Gettysburg.

101 Travel Bits books aren’t traditional guidebooks—and they aren’t meant to be. Each title in the series presents 101 short, informative “bits” about one great destination, ranging from history and landmarks to lesser‑known stories and fascinating details.

Travel Bits are designed to work especially well as ebooks, with interactive links to official sites, maps, and images that allow readers to explore further online. At the same time, the concise, self‑contained structure of each Travel Bit makes the books equally enjoyable in paperback, perfect for reading anywhere without relying on maps or photos.

Whether you’re planning a trip or simply curious about a place, Travel Bits offer an engaging and flexible way to explore what makes it special.
