Battle of Gettysburg

The Battle of Gettysburg stands as one of the defining engagements of the American Civil War and a pivotal moment in the nation’s struggle to endure. Fought over three days in July 1863, Union and Confederate forces clashed across fields, hills, and the town of Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, in a battle marked by its scale and lasting consequences.

The Union victory halted General Robert E. Lee’s invasion of the North and shifted the momentum of the war. In the months that followed, President Abraham Lincoln returned to the battlefield to dedicate a national cemetery, delivering the Gettysburg Address—a brief but enduring statement that reframed the conflict as a test of whether a nation founded on liberty could endure.

The Apple Cider and Oak scent reflects the contrast of the setting and season—harvest fields, wooden fences, and the rural landscape shaped by conflict. Notes of apple cider, oak, and warm spice offer a restrained, atmospheric profile that honors those who fought and the ideals preserved at lasting cost.
