I have a reproduction of a Michelin guide to the Soissons sector of the Western Front 1914-1918. Michelin began publishing these guides in 1919! Now I seem to remember in the Ken Burns Civil War series, mention that speculators bought up part of the Bull Run field. Two days after the 1st battle there? But what were the first guides published?
Some of the battlefields were in remote locations. But I am sure others could have been reached by rail in the late 1860's. Were any tours organised back then?
