Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Other States: Pennsylvania, Gettysburg (1); Excerpts From Newspapers and Other Sources
The completed monument was dedicated July lst, 1869, being unvailed, after an eloquent address, by General Meade, the Commander of the Army of the Potomac. The Rev. Henry Ward Beecher, Senator Morton, of In diana, Bayard Taylor, and the venerable Dr. Schmucker, of the Lutheran Seminary at Gettysburg - all of whom have gone from us during the few intervening years, participated in the exercises of the occasion. The memorial stands to-day, a noble and conspicuous land mark - its granite column surmounted by the white mar ble Genius of Liberty, while at the angles of the pedestal recline the sculptured allegories of War, History, Peace and Plenty.
