Additional Details:
The eighteen northern states purchased the land for the national cemetery and presented it to the federal government. It was dedicated November 19th, 1863 by president Lincoln at which time he delivered his famous address. 3654 union soldiers (of which over 1600 are unknown) are here buried. The confederate dead were removed to several southern cemeteries.
