John Mitchell Vanderslice's Gettysburg offers an overarching
history of the Battle of Gettysburg and describes the Gettysburg
Battlefield Memorial Association's origins and accomplishments. The
Memorial Association, established by an act of the Pennsylvania
legislature in 1864, aimed to preserve and protect the battlefield
grounds and gather information about the battle. It helped acquire
land from private owners and oversaw the creation of monuments,
avenues, and signs--laying the foundation for today's Gettysburg
National Military Park.
This volume, published in 1897, provides a history of the
Memorial Association as well as an overview of the battlefield, the
armies, and the three days of battle at Gettysburg, including
breakdowns of reported losses for each brigade on each part of the
battlefield. Vanderslice also includes a history of the Gettysburg
National Cemetery--the first national cemetery fully devoted to the
burial of soldiers--with notes on its establishment, design,
graves, organization, and dedication. The volume concludes with a
detailed listing of each state's representation on the battlefield
and memorial markers.
