Gen. Meade withhis staff arrived upon the field of Gettysburg from Taneytown at midnight on the first day of the battle, and established his headquarters here on the west side of the Taneytown road, in the rear of Cemetery Hill. From this point he directed the battles of the second and third days. The homely little cottae still preserved, shows still the marks of shot and shell
