American Battlefield Protection Program Battlefield Survey Manual
Lowe D. 2016. American Battlefield Protection Program Battlefield Survey Manual. American Battlefield Protection Program Battlefield Survey Manual. National Park Service. Washington, DC
This manual is designed to focus the attention of battlefield researchers on a standard methodology for landscape-level survey that will provide state historic preservation offices, local planners, preservation advocates, and others with reliable information. Large parts of the methodology used to study the Civil War are adapted to address the battlefields of other wars, particularly wars between organized armies where there is written documentation of the events. Researchers of battles for which there is meager documentation may rely more heavily on oral traditions and the work of archeologists to locate and verify sites.
