HIGH TIDE OF WAR
BATTLE OF GETTYSBURG WAS
TURNING POINT OF GREAT
CIVIL CONFLICT.
BOTH SIDES FOUGHT BRAVELY
Three Days Of Fighting That Resulted
In Total Losses Of over $4,000 and

Bravely fought by two great armies
OF Americans bravely won by the Fed

crates the battle of Gettysburg proved
to be the turning point OF the Civil

hope that it would bring foreign aid

General Lees army at Gettysburg
numbered approximately $4,000, while
the Federal forces, under command OF
Gen. George G.. Meade, aggregated
about $4,000 officers and men. Lees
corps commanders were Generals
Longstreet, Ewell and A. p. Hill. Com.
manders Of the Union corps were Gen.

succeeded him, was forced back TO
Seminary Ridge, after hard fighting,
and then had to abandon that posi-
ton, so that the first day of the bat

This large pendulum, needing only a

horse, realizing that further kicking
would be fruitless. stopped kicking
