An exhibit which spotlights the role of New Jersey troops in the Civil War opens Sunday in Morristown, New Jersey, in honor of the sesquicentennial of the Battle of Gettysburg. "The whole point of displaying these artifacts and mementos is to recall the service of those veterans and evoke the passion for their deeds so they won't be forgotten and we can learn from the past," said Anthony Waskie, a Civil War historian and assistant professor of languages at Temple.
