The Soldiers' National Cemetery 
 
 TS located on the highest point of Cemetery Hill, and the 
 ' grounds embrace over seventeen acres. It was dedicated 
 November l9th, 1S63. Edward Everett delivered the oration 
 and President Lincoln delivered his immortal address. There 
 are buried here 3,575 bodies of Union soldiers, of which l,60S 
 are unknown. From the Soldiers' National Cemetery at Get- 
 tysburg all others took their origin.

UNDER the management of the Gettysburg National Park 
 Commission, very fine Telford roads have been made, 
 marking most of the battle lines, and by monument or tablet 
 the positions of the Federal and Confederate organizations 
 during the engagement are accurately marked.

 SOON after the battle opened the wounded were brought 
 into the town, and by noon of July 1st, '63, all churches 
 and public buildings were used as hospitals. It was the sad 
 fate of Chaplain Howell, of the 90th Pa. Regiment, to be 
 killed by a Confederate ball on the spot in front of Christ 
 Lutheran Church marked with the tablet, where he doubtless 
 felt secure under the protection of the hospital flag. 
 
THE Devil's Den is a wildly romantic spot formed by a 
 peculiar jumble of immense granite boulders, which 
 were used by Confederate sharpshooters as natural fortifica- 
 tions, from behind which their lire was very destructive. 
 
 IT was on the Rummel farm that General D. McM. Greggs's 
 ^ Union Cavalry repulsed the Confederate Cavalry, under the 
 Confederate General, J. E. B. Stuart, who were endeavoring to 
 break through the rear of the Union line, while Pickett was 
 charging its front three and one-half miles away.

THAT General Lee, the commander of the Army of Northern 
 Virginia occupied as his headquarters the little stone 
 house on Seminary Ridge is disputed by what the writer con- 
 siders some of the best informed authorities, they claiming 
 that his headquarters were in the open fields. 
 
 THE headquarters of General Meade, commander-in-chief of 
 the Army of the Potomac, has been carefully preserved, 
 and is now the property of the United States and a part of the 
 National Park. It is on the Taneytown road, south of Sol 
 diers' National Cemetery.

LTANCOCK AVENUE marks the battle line of General Han- 
 ^ ^ cock's Second Army Corps. The view is made from 
 south of the angle, and looks over the spot where Hancock was 
 wounded and out to the Round Tops. The earth-works are 
 visible in the view. Beautiful monuments mark the sides of its 
 entire leng:th.

r PANGLER'S SPRING, below Gulp's Hill, furnished water for 
 ^ the wounded of both armies, when at the close of hostilities 
 on the night of the second day's battle both the Blue and the 
 Gray sought here together a draught for their disabled com- 
 rades. A neat structure of granite now encloses the spring, 
 and visitors to the tleld drink from its historic waters. 
 
 JENNIE WADE, a sweet and comely maiden of twenty years 
 of age, was killed in the quaint little house that still stands 
 on Baltimore Street.

THIS small umbrella-like copse of trees was the centre and 
 focal point of Pickett's charge ; the grand, final effort of 
 the Confederates to drive the Federals from their strong posi- 
 tion. It proved their Waterloo. 
 
THE statue of General Warren stands upon Little Round Top 
 and overlooks the most sanguinary points of the Held of 
 the second day, the valley of death — the grove to the front. 
 The wheat field, fought over seven times, is the large, open 
 field, and the peach orchard is just above the grove to the left. 
 
THE equestrian statues of Generals Meade, Reynolds and Han- 
 cock, as well as the statue of the citizen hero of Gettys- 
 burg, John L. Burns, were erected by the State of Pennsylva- 
 nia, and that of General Slocum by the State of New York. 
 All are of standard bronze with granite pedestals. 
 
THE loop in the road near the centre of the picture shown 
 on page 12 runs directly through the angle in which is 
 located the copse of trees which was Pickett's objective point 
 in the charge, and known as the High Water Mark of the 
 Rebellion. This copse is now protected by a circular iron 
 fence, and a beautiful open book in bronze tells the story.

 GULP'S HILL (shown on page 13), situated southeast of 
 Cemetery Hill, was the scene of some of the most severe 
 musketry firing during the Civil War. On July 2d great 
 trunks of trees were mown down by bullets, and a large area 
 of great oak trees destroyed.
