The skulls that have been found incline
people to think that three races lived here
the Mess jewellers. with perfect skulls;
the cliff-dwellers, with having perpen-
dicular occipital fattening. and the val
ley dwellers, with skulls with oblique
occipital fiattening The nearest ap-
proach to the cliff-dwellers are the Pue
bio Indians. They present many traces
Of similarity in their implements, pot
terry and mode of Dress but their tradi-
tons do not accord with the theory that
they once lived in the cliff dwellings.

1t is thought that these were sedentary

into tribes. They were evidently super

tributed to the fact that agriculture

in the cliffs for defense. At one time

instances terraces of the houses faced an

Europe may talk about her ruins and
Egypt boast of her buried cities, but
here at home we have ancient cities that
only of late are beginning to be appre-
ciated. At least four distinct regions
are worthy of investigation. One can
take choice of the Upper San Juan
Canyon, the Mesa Verde, the Chaco Can
yon, and Canyon de Chelly-in any one

The territories of New Mexico and Ari-
iona are literal treasure houses.
Professor Hayden, in his report to the
Geological Survey of the United States,
says: THE great ruins are pre-eminently
the finest examples of the work of the
unknown builders to be found north of
the seat of ancient Aztec empire, in Mex
fco." From the thousands Of cities, towns
and dwellings found, 1t is evident that at
least three thousand people lived in one
canyon alone. That they were powerful
and an agricultural race is evident, and
they had irrigating bitches and reservoirs
for water.
valuable relics have been IN former
years taken from these dwellings and
either placed in museums or kept as me-
mentos. Among them are many ancient
earthenware vessels of rare form and de-
sign with plain markings. No complete
costumes of men and women which were
worn in ceremonial life, have as yet
been found. but there have been THUS or
dolls which show in measure the dress
OF the Indians. 1t u interesting to note

For two hours Edward Everett spoke
He was a most polished orator. He de-
scribed the incidents leading up to the
battle, the battle, its results, the politi-
cal situation and pretty much everything
else he could think of. 1t was a mag
nifcent speech and might have lasted
longer in history had it not been so vast
ly overshadowed by the few remarks
of Lincoln
When Everett ceased speaking he was
heartily applauded. Then the Maryland
Musical Association of Baltimore sang a
hymn that had been composed for the
occasion.
As the singing ceased President Lin
coin arose. There has been much dis
cussion as to when, where and how
Lincoln composed his address and whether
he read 1t from manuscript but. as taken
down in shorthand by an Associated Press
reporter and sent to the newspapers, 1t
was as follows:
-Four score years and seven ago our
fathers brought forth upon this continent
a new nation, conceived in liberty, and
dedicated to the proposition that all men
are created equal Now we are engaged
in a great civil war, testing whether that
nation or any nation so conceived and so
dedicated can long endure. We are met
on a great battlefield of that war. We are
met to dedicate portion of 1t as the final

wonderful words the great war President

wonderful words the great war President
ever uttered.
1t is hardly necessary to review the
battle. Every school child knows 1t, but 1t
was Immediately after the conflict that
the idea for the national cemetery was
born. Shortly after the battle Governor
Andrew G. Curtin, of Pennsylvania, Wis
tied the scene, bringing relief to the
wounded and sick soldiers who were In
the various hospitals in and around Get
tysburg.
When the governor left he made Mr..
David Wills, resident of Gettysburg
his personal representative to see that
the relief work planned was carried on.
Mr.. Wills, in making visits to various
parts of the battlefield, found that there
were many dead that had been SO hastily
buried as to be but partially covered
Some of the graves were unmarked, while
others were only partially so, the words
on the boards rapidly becoming illegible.
To Mr.. Wills occurred the idea of
gathering the dead in one cemetery, and,
on July "a, 1853, he wrote to Governor
Curtin, making the suggestion. The plan
met with Governor Curtin's approval, and
Mr.. Wills was asked to enlist the sup
port of the governors of the various
states that contributed men to the bat
tie.
Within a little more than 80 days Mr.

Fortunately the dryness Of the at
mosphere has a tendency to preserve the
cliff dwellings and the objects found
therein. Three or four of the mortuary
specimens discovered in connection with
the mummies are of great value, as no
Indian of today makes them. One Of
these Is the atlatl or throwing stick.
This was apparently used as lever In
hurting a spear long distance. Beauti-
full feather cloth has been found wrapped
around the dead who were walled up In
the rear of the cliff dwellings. In one
underground kiya or temple was discov-
cred deposit of turquoise of great value.
One popularity about these splendid ruins
Is that they are found only in volcanic
tufa, which lends itself to caves or nat
ural canyons, and this enabled the cliff
men to wall up the chambers In which
they deposited their dead. The num-
mics that have been found were dressed
in beautiful feather cloth and cotton
garments, all well preserved.
1t was formerly thought that all these
ruins were of Aztec origin, but 1t is now
known that the oldest ruins are about
1900 years old-which is later than the
Aztecs. That a comparatively high civ
ilization existed in this region when
America was discovered Is beyond ques-
ton. Engineering projects as well as
these ruins stamp the people as a race
far advanced. 1t is supposed that the
builders were peaceable people menaced
by hostile tribes and that this Is WIN

BILE walls with outlook that commanded

try. Some dwellings have been found
with watch towers either to sight the
enemy from afar or to catch eagles. One

The cooperation of all of the Grand
Army posts was then soliciteq and the
first to respond was the General Strong
Vincent Post, No. 81, of Erie, Pa. which
erected a tablet upon Little Round Top,
marking the spot where General Vim
cent was killed. This is said to be the
hrst memorial of any kind erected upon
the field, but at almost the same time
the Colonel Fred Taylor Post, No. 10, of
Philadelphia, placed In front OF Round
Top a tablet to indicate the spot where
Colonel Taylor fell at the head of the
Bucktail Rifles.
The foregoing tablets were erected In
1878, but during the following year the
Second Massachusetts Infantry affixed to
a boulder in Spangler's meadow a bronze
tablet on which was recited briefly the
charge of that regiment against the enc
my's line at the base of Culps HILL
With the placing of this tablet there
awakened great interest In the Memorial
Association, the members of the Grand
Army of the Republic took hold of 1T
and on June 8, 1880, there was approved
an act of Congress authorizing the CON.
plllng OF data of all kinds concerning the
battle, location of troops and the Issuing
of maps, etc.
Until 1882 the interest of the surviving
Confederates was confined to the removal
of their dead comrades to their respec-
tive homes, but finally, a delegation of
Confederates visited the field for the pur-
pose of locating certain OF the Southern
commands
Other confederates followed, and by
1888 the interest in the battlefield be-
came general throughout the entire ma
ton. In 1891 there began the erection OF
the High Water Mark, the most notable
monument upon the field, marking as 1t
does the crest of Pickett's charge.
1t Is a massive structure of granite,
resting upon granite platform and sus-
tanning a large bronze volume laid open.
On one page is recorded the names of
all Of the Union troops and on the other
page the names of all the Confederate
troops that had a part in the making

since been carried forward In a most In

tional Park Commission, of which Col.

Wills had secured the cooperation Of
fifteen of the seventeen governors, the
site for the cemetery was selected and
plans were being made for the renter
ment of the dead.
The cemetery grounds were laid out In
the form of a semi-circle lots were pro-
vided for each of the loyal states, for
the United States regulars and last, but
not least, for the unknown dead. Two
feet of space was allowed for each body,
the head of which was laid toward the
center. At the head of the graves
stone wall for the foundation Of the
headstones was laid along the entire
length of each section and upon the head
stones was inscribed the name, company
and regiment of the deceased, II known.
The renterment was made with the
greatest care, the entire battlefield be-
ing thoroughly searched for bodies. The
exhuming began October 81, 1858, and
when completed there were placed in the
new cemetery 3,555 bodies, of which 979
were unknown and 1873 were regulars.
The dedication of the cemetery took
place on November 10, 1868. The pro-
gram was a simple one. The orator of
the day was Hon. Edward Everett of
Massachusetts. while President Lincoln
was expected to make few remarks"

by the President of the United States"

acted deeds of bravery of which any ma
ton might well be proud, and 1t was
there that the highest hopes of the Con-
federacy were dashed to the ground and
the dreams of an invasion of the North.
with the capture of Washington, were
shattered.
Today, by monument and by tablet the
entire story of the great campaign is told; ;
told in markers of iron and stone so
that all who pass may read. There, too,
is told in a similar manner the move
ment of all of the troops engaged from
the time they reached the battle-ground
until they left, and done with a faith
fitness and with such care that there
is not the slightest possibility of a mis-
take.
The commission to whom this gigantic
work has been intrusted has done its
work well, and the huge field, nearly
1,50o acres in area, and interspersed by
more than 30 miles of fine macadam road.
with high observation towers here and
there, affords an exceptional opportunity
to the student of military affairs or to
the casual visitor.
One of the aims of the commission has
been to keep the field in practically the
same condition as 1t was when the bat
tie was fought. Thousands of trees have
been planted to take the place of those
destroyed during the years that followed
the war when the land was privately own
ed, while woodland that sprang up has
been cleared. Thus one may now view
the field and realize that it is pretty
much the same as it was when the Army
of the Potomac and the Army of Northern
Virginia met.
1t was at Gettysburg, too, that Presi-
dent Lincoln made his famous dedication
address, speech that occupied barely two
minutes of the time and yet one that will
ever live and be regarded as a masterpiece
of oratory This address of the great war
President alone would have made Gettys-
burg a marked place, and it was but
fitting that the scene of such battle
should also be the birthplace of the most

ruins in the Southwest, Cliff House, Bal

costs about So a day for guide. trans
portatlon, etc. The Mesa Verde itself
is an irregular tableland, 700 feet high.
1t Is made of strata of various degrees
of hardness, and in recesses exposed by
action of the weather are found the great
ruins. In some places they are so nu-
merous that there is little doubt about
their being villages. In the Canyon du
Chiefly over 100 ruins have been located,
varying in size from single room to
great villages. Some occupy recesses in
the canyons wall, others are on the
plains, and the character, age and prob
lens Of these ancient ruins are cause for
the widest speculation, enhanced by the
appearance of peach trees, which grow
nearby and are said to date from Span
ish times.
Who built these ruins? No one can
say. All that is known of them is that
they are old, old, old. The only guess
work comes from observation. Some of
the rooms are covered with a thin coat
of plaster, and the arches are perfect.
At the rear are open places, supposed to
have been used for turkeys. All of these
dwellings are built of stone and many
are five stories high, the upper stoyy on
the ledge rock and the otner stories be-
low. In some, instances there are towers
built of stones cut circular.
Evidently defense was one of the chief
objects of these homes, for the courts
We're built behind the houses, and In
some cases one house held all the people
of the village. Occasionally there are at
tempts at decoration on tine walls These
people lived in such queer places, built
so well, and have vanished SO utterly
that they are considered the most mys-
terious Of the American aborigines. We
can only Judge Of them from their homes
and relics. In these odd homes have
been found the skins of animals, yucca
feathers, pottery, sandals, coarse cloth
and implements made of wood and stone
and shells. No trace of metal has ever
been found Some persons associate
them with the stone age. Their appear
ance and disappearance will always re-
main a mystery, and all we know is that
at some indefinite time they came, made
their dwellings and later disappeared. 1t
is certain none Of their descendants are
living, and that they had attained pro-
ficiency in the art of building and max
ing ornaments.
No survivor has ever been discovered
or any tribe with reliable traditions as
to ever having occupied the buildings
