CEMETERY-Immediately after
the battle an association was formed to provide a per-
manent burial place for those who fell in the Pennsyl-
vania campaign. Appropriations were secured from the
various Northern States and the dead to the number of
3555 were interred here. At its dedication on Nov. 19,
1863, President Lincoln delivered his famous Gettys-
burg address. The Cemetery was transferred to the
general government in 1872.
