This is my humble way of offering you a small piece of on-site Civil War immortality, and identify for future generations those 21st century heroes like you who came together with the Civil War Trust to save the land where 19th century heroes hallowed the ground forever.

 As an additional special “Thank You!” for helping to preserve Gaines’ Mill, for your gift of $49 or more today, I will send you a copy of our exclusive 2012 wall calendar featuring the stunning battlefield images taken by members just like you.

These digital photos were among the more than 2,000 entered into the Civil War Trust’s Annual Photography Contest, to help advance the cause of battlefield preservation. You will be proud to hang this beautiful calendar in your home or office, and it is filled with great Civil War facts on each day of the year!

There’s lots of space to keep track of appointments, and it will serve as a constant reminder of your crucial role in saving America’s Civil War heritage. It’s yours for a gift of $49 or more today.

Each gift gets us that much closer to ultimate victory. This is one of those very rare chances to do something that we can be proud tell our grandchildren about…something that will live on forever.
