This sheet music pairs a song about Gettysburg with an engraving of a proposed Homestead for Soldiers' Orphans, so it links the battle's music to a charitable cause. Printed song sheets like this were often sold to raise money for causes tied to the war's dead. Pennsylvania had already set up state support for the children of soldiers, and efforts such as this one aimed to give those children a home and schooling. The engraving shows how the cause was pictured for the public, while the song kept Gettysburg in people's memory.
