A printed text page rather than a view of the stone itself, this item records the gateway to the Soldiers' National Cemetery, which sits on Cemetery Hill above the town. That hill was a key position on July 1 and 2, 1863, when Union troops falling back from the first day's fighting gathered there and held the high ground during the second day's assaults. The cemetery was dedicated on November 19, 1863, and Abraham Lincoln delivered the Gettysburg Address at the ceremony. Reading the gateway's description on the page offers a sense of how the site was presented to the public in the years that followed.
