Exploring the archaeology of Harpers Ferry during the wartime and Victorian eras, this work challenges established historical narratives shaped by institutions like the National Park Service. It emphasizes the importance of including overlooked histories and voices, offering a more nuanced understanding of the town's past. By confronting traditional interpretations, the book reveals how archaeology can either reinforce or reshape collective memory and tradition.
