Gettysburg in 1863 was a county seat of about 2,400 people, a farm town whose grain mills, tanneries, and market square served the surrounding countryside. A rail spur from Hanover Junction had reached it only a few years earlier, and Pennsylvania College and the Lutheran Theological Seminary gave the town a scholarly reputation. In the first days of July, Union and Confederate armies collided on the roads and ridges nearby, and the fighting filled its streets and houses with wounded men. Within months the dead were buried in a new national cemetery, and that November Abraham Lincoln came to dedicate it with a short address that made the town known far beyond Pennsylvania.
