The Gettysburg information page

Hi and welcome to the Gettysburg Information page. This site provides you with many links to information about the battle as well as a brief story about the battle itself. I encourage you to visit these links often and learn about a very significant battle that turned the course of our nation's Civil War. Gettysburg, along with other Civil War battle fields are being eaten up each day as our nation's population expands. Without a knowledge that these places exist, nothing can be done to preserve them.

In late June of 1863, the commanding General of the army of Northern Virginia, Robert E. Lee decided once again to take the war to the enemy. Upon recieving the confirmation from President Davis Lee's army was on the move officially launching the Gettysburg Campaign which would climax on the outskirts of a small, budding town in Adams County, Pennsylvania.
