Gettysburg changed utterly

At Gettysburg there was nothing to
choose between the valor Of the North
and the South. The South lost the

with the prestige OF its soldiery un-

was ordered to make Its way into the
Susquehanna Valley through the town
Of Gettysburg and then to turn in its
course after destroying railroads and
gathering in supplies. and to meet the
Confederate commander with the main
army at Harrisburg.
1t was General Jubal A. Early Of
General Lees command, who reached
Gettysburg after a long hard march
on June 26. From there he went to
the town OF York and from thence to
&c oightsville. At this place he was
+ .. Tered by General Lee to retrace his
steps and to bring his detachment
back to a camp near Gettysburg.
When Early 'ahd obeyed Lees order
and had reached a point near Gettys-
burg he found the entire Southern
force was camped within easy strik-
ing distance of the now historic town.
In the meantime things were hap
pening elsewhere. General Hooker
in command of the Union army which
had been depleted at Charlottesville
had succeeded in out-maneuvering
General Stuart in command Of Lees
cavalry. had got around Stuart's COM
mand in a way to prevent the South
ern general from forming a junction
with the forces of his chief comman-
der. Lee gave over the proposed
movement on Harrisburg when he
heard OF Hookers approach and
brought the different parts OF his
army together.
Four days before the Gettysburg
fight began General Hooker resigned
as commander of the Union army.
Hooker and General Hallock dis
agreed upon matter concerning
which strategists today say that Cen
eral Hooker was right. Three days
before the battle began. that Is. June
2S, 1868. General George Gordan
Meade was named as General Hook
er's successor in charge Of the North
ern army. General Meade at once
went into the field and established
his headquarters at a point ten or
twelve miles south of the town OF
Gettysburg.
Armies Meet at Gettysburg.
1t seems that General Lee on hear
ing that Stuart had not succeeded in
checking the Union army's advance
had made up his mind to turn south
ward to meet the force Of Hooker, or
as It turned out the force of Meade.
Lee with his force had advanced
north beyond Gettysburg, while Meade
with his force was south Of the town.
The fields near the Pennsylvania vii
lage had not been picked as a place of
battle. but there 1t was that the two
great armies came together and for
three days struggled for the mas
terry.
On the last day of June. the day
before the real battle Of Gettysburg
began. General Reynolds. a corps
commander OF the Union army. went
forward to feel out the enemy. He
reached Gettysburg by nightfall. His
corps. the First. together with the
Third and the Eleventh Infantry
Corps with a division OF cavalry, COM
posed the Union army's left wing.
The Fifth Army Corps was sent to
Hanover. southeast OF Gettysburg.
and the Twelfth Corps was immedi-
ately south of Gettysburg at dis
tance of eight or nine miles. This
was on June 80. and the Union forces
were fairly well separted. but they
were converging and Gettysburg was
their objective.

their destination had short hand-to-
hand encounter with the northern sol
diers. 1t was soon over and Pickett 8
charge, glorious for all time in his
tory, was a failure in that which 1t
attempted to do, but was success as
helping to show the heroism Of Amer
ican soldiers.
The losses at Gettysburg on both
sides were enormous. The Union
army lost Generals Zook, Farnsworth,
Weed and Reynolds, killed; while Gra-
ham, Barnes, Gibbon. Warren, Double
day, Barlow, Sickles. Butterfield and
Hancock were wounded. The total
casualties killed wounded, captured
or missing on the Union side num-
bered nearly $4,000 men. On the Con-
federate side Generals Semmes. Pen
der, Garnet, Armistead, and Barks-
dale were killed, and Generals Kemp
er, kimbal, Hood, Heth, Johnson and
Trimble were wounded, The entire
Confederate loss is estimated to have
been nearly 10000 men.
The third days fight at Gettysburg
was a victory for northern arms, but
it was hard won fight and the CON
f1ict reflects luster today upon the
north and the south Lee led his
army back southwark later to con-
front Grant In the campaigns which
finally ended at Appomattox.

Victory Not Followed Up.
For some reason or other perhaps
unknown to this day, what was virtu-
ally Confederate victory on the first
OF July was not followed up by Gen
eral Lee early on the next morning
General Meade therefore succeeded IN
Strengthening his lines and in pre-
pairing for the greater conflict. One
end OF the Union line was some dis
tance east OF Cemetery Hill on Rock
Creek. another end was at Round Top
something more than two miles be-
yond Cemetery Hill to the south. The
Confederate line confronting 1t was
somewhat longer.
II Is impossible in a brief sketch of
this battle to give the names OF the
brigade and the regimental comman
ders and the names of the regiments
which were engaged ON both sides in
this great battle. Meade, Hancock
Howard. Slocum and Sickles with
their men were confronting Lee,
Longstreet. Hill, Ewell and the other
great commanders Of the South with
their men. The line OF battle with the
spaces in between the different com
mands was nearly ten miles. 1t was
the Confederate generals intention TO
attack at the extreme right and left
and at the center simultaneously. 1t
was to be General Longstreet's duty

army and to break It," Longstreets

time to have 1t met valiantly The
battle Of the second day really be-
