Abstract
During the first three days of July 1863, the Battle of Gettysburg resulted in more than 50,000 casualties, to which the Union contributed almost 20,000 wounded and 3,155 dead. The toll was so great that President Abraham Lincoln agreed personally to dedicate a new cemetery for the Union’s fallen soldiers.
