Gettysburg National Soldiers' Cemetery
Gettysburg National Cemetery is a United States national cemetery created for casualties of the July 1 to 3, 1863 Battle of Gettysburg in the American Civil War. It is located just outside Gettysburg Borough to the south, in Adams County, Pennsylvania.
The Battle of Gettysburg was a turning point in the American Civil War, the Union victory that ended General Robert E. Lee's second and most ambitious invasion of the North. Often referred to as the High Water Mark of the Rebellion, Gettysburg was the Civil War's bloodiest battle and was also the inspiration for President Abraham Lincoln's immortal Gettysburg Address.

The burials were far from complete when the Gettysburg National Cemetery was dedicated on November 19, 1863. The honorable Edward Everett was committed to deliver the keynote address while President Lincoln was invited to give a few appropriate remarks for the occasion. The president accepted the invitation, knowing full well that his presence would provide his political foes with plenty of fodder though he was more concerned with the human cost of the bloody war and the anxiety of the war weary northern people, anxious as to what course would then be followed.
Hotels and lodgings in and around Gettysburg were filled to capacity the day before the dedication. Under a gloomy sky, the president arrived in Gettysburg on a special train from Washington and was greeted by a throng of well wishers. Escorted to the home of attorney David Wills on the town square, Lincoln spoke briefly to the crowd and soon after retreated to a second story bedroom where he worked to complete the second half of his address begun while still in Washington. The Wills home was soon filled to capacity with dignitaries and prominent citizens. Every bedroom was taken by the time Governor Curtin arrived, so he was resigned to get a few hours of sleep on a living room sofa.
Morning dawned bright and clear on November 19, disturbed only by the booming of signal cannon from Cemetery Hill. The processional began at 10 o'clock, the participants marching south on Baltimore Street to the cemetery grounds where a special platform had been constructed at the edge of the new cemetery. The president rode a horse in the procession, followed by dignitaries in carriages, military bands and soldiers in their finest dress uniforms. Arriving at the cemetery, the officials were welcomed by a massive crowd of over 10,000 people, pressed tightly around the speaker's platform and ready to hear patriotic hymns and Mr. Everett's address. After a brief delay, Everett was introduced and looked over the hushed crowd. His voice filled with emotion, he recalled the history of the locale and compared the honoring of deceased Union sons to the funerals held for heroes of ancient Greece. The elderly speaker gave a brief history of the great battle, the country's close relationship with current affairs in Europe, and his view on the eventual outcome of the war. Nearly exhausted after two hours of speaking, he closed with a strong sentiment for once again raising the flag of the Union over southern capitols.
There was a brief musical interlude. The president rose and faced the crowd, now pressed close to the front of the platform. He spoke steadily for two minutes and then returned to his chair, accompanied by polite applause.
Many listeners were stunned. The speech was so short and many near the back of the crowd had not heard a word of it. Yet, what they did hear was poignant. The president spoke of the honored dead who gave the last full measure of devotion to the nation, and how the memory of that devotion should inspire the northern people to support the Union cause, a devotion that would result in a nation that few could actually comprehend- one with a new birth of freedom with a government run by the governed- the people of the United States.
The ceremony ended with a prayer and music. The president attended a church service in Gettysburg before leaving on his special train for Washington and a return to the business of what seemed to be an endless war. While Democratic newspapers ridiculed the president's speech, others hailed it for its simplicity. Lincoln and some of his closest aides doubted the effectiveness of the speech while others found the remarks to be inspirational. Perhaps the kindest compliment came from Edward Everett who wrote the president: I should be glad if I could flatter myself that I came as near to the central idea of the occasion in two hours, as you did in two minutes.

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

Taps played at Gettysburg National Cemetery
Aidan Peterson plays Taps on his Bugle at Gettysburg National Cemetery.
Aidan Peterson was one of one hundred bugle players chosen to play Taps during Gettysburg’s 100 Days of Taps. Each one honors the soldiers who fell at the Pennsylvania battlefield in 1863. It was the deadliest battle of The Civil War. From July 1-3, about 50,000 men lost their lives. It was a turning point in the conflict, as The Union stopped The Confederate advancement northwards.

The Gettysburg National Military Park protects and interprets the landscape of the 1863 Battle of Gettysburg during the American Civil War. Located in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, the park is managed by the National Park Service. The GNMP properties include most of the Gettysburg Battlefield, many of the battle's support areas during the battle (e.g., reserve, supply, & hospital locations), and several other non-battle areas associated with the battle's aftermath and commemoration, including the Gettysburg National Cemetery. Many of the park's 43,000 American Civil War artifacts are displayed in the Gettysburg Museum and Visitor Center.
The park has more wooded land than in 1863, and the National Park Service has an ongoing program to restore portions of the battlefield to their historical non-wooded conditions, as well as to replant historic orchards and woodlots that are now missing. In addition, the NPS is restoring native plants to meadows and edges of roads, to encourage habitat as well as provide for historic landscape. There are also considerably more roads and facilities for the benefit of tourists visiting the battlefield park.
