Gettysburg Battlefield
- Gettysburg, PA. The first
steps toward the Battle of Gettysburg
started in June 1863. Confederate Gen.
Robert E. Lee’s soldiers crossed the Potomac
River in Virginia and began to march toward
the Susquehanna River in Pennsylvania, with
thoughts that a victory in the North would
erode the Union’s will to continue the
fight.
The Battle of Gettysburg started on July
1, 1863, when Lee’s Army of Northern
Virginia met Gen. George Meade’s Union Army
of the Potomac. During the three-day battle,
about 165,000 soldiers clashed in and around
the small town of Gettysburg (battle-era
population: 2,400).
When the Battle of Gettysburg was over on
July 3, 1863, 51,000 soldiers were
casualties (killed, wounded, captured or
missing) in what remains the largest battle
ever fought in North America.
The Gettysburg
Foundation, in partnership
with the National Park Service, invites
you to visit and learn about the Battle of
Gettysburg, Gettysburg and the American
Civil War and the battle’s
relevance in our lives today. The Cyclorama,
