The Gettysburg battlefield is a giant outdoor classroom clustered with hundreds of monuments. Their stories set in stone, bronze and iron help visitors explore one of the great turning points in American history. The headquarters monuments provide the background to the story. They were erected just before the battle's 50th anniversary in 1913 to give a visitor the big picture and to put into perspective the monuments to the regiments, batteries and individuals. The book showcases all 110 Union brigade, division, corps and army headquarters monuments on the Gettysburg battlefield, each with a photograph, complete text from the monument, map location and GPS information. Also included is an index of the 223 officers (and one sergeant) named on the monuments and a second index of all subordinate regiments and batteries. Each monument names its unit's commanders and subordinate units, gives a timeline of activities in the battle, and lists casualties. Their wording is in the dispassionate and often awkward voice of an official report, but does not conceal the underlying triumphs and tragedies that together make up the story of this largest and deadliest of all Civil War battles. A companion book on Confederate Headquarters Monuments at Gettysburg is also available.

The Battle of Gettysburg was the bloodiest battle of the American Civil War and considered by many historians to be the war’s turning point. During three days in July 1863, the armies of the South under General Robert E. Lee and the armies of the North commanded by General George G. Meade clashed in the hills and dales surrounding the Pennsylvania town of Gettysburg. When the battle ended on July 3, more than 46,000 soldiers had been killed, wounded, captured, or gone missing. Historic Photos of Gettysburg recounts the events of this momentous battle. From the carnage at Devil’s Den and Pickett’s Charge to Lincoln’s Gettysburg Address and the 50th and 75th reunions of the veterans from both sides, this look at the scene of the conflict, its aftermath, and its commemoration brings together in one volume a comprehensive visual record of this pivotal event. Included in these pages are hundreds of historic photographs, made by Civil War photographer Mathew Brady and many others, all published in striking black and white. As a collection, these images preserve the historic events at Gettysburg, which helped shape the future of a nation, and document a reunified nation mending its soul.

Excerpt from Dedication of the Monuments of the 7th, 10th and 37th Mass; Vols, at Gettysburg, Pa;, October 6, 1886: With the Dedicatory Address Yet as we come to this spot to dedicate these monuments, in order to realize that forwhich they stand, and what they imply, it is necessary that we should temporarily leave the present with its joys and brightness and in fancy go back to those other days and scenes. We would not reawaken if we could the keen anguish of the former years, now soothed and softened by Time's effacing fingers the intense anxiety straining at the heart cords is happily only a memory, least of all would we revive the passion and the fury of those days of deadly strife when the hand of brother was raised against brother. It is not to perpetuate these that we have erected here our monuments; it is instead to mark an epoch in the world's history, a turning point in the destiny of a nation. In some form or another and for one purpose or another the memorial stone has been erected through all the ages of the past, especially has its mission been to commemorate notable events and illustrious lives. Such are the shafts at Bunker Hill, at Baltimore, at Washington, and the one soon to be erected at Bennington. Such is the monument in yonder National cemetery, watching over the graves of nearly 4000 illustrious men who died along these hills and slopes because they loved their country. Illustrious men, did I say? That in deed and in truth they were; for while their lives may have been very humble and of little' moment as the great world counts importance, we Should never forget, comrades and friends, that to each and every one of these men his life was his all, and in giving that he gave as freely and as nobly as the most eminent citized and renowned patriot - gave all that he had and was on earth. Correlative and supplementary to that greater monument, we have placed these lesser ones, to Show that organizations with which we were identified, and whose name and fame had become dear to us, bore part - not alone in what was done on this spot, but here and elsewhere in all that great struggle which had here its culmination and turning point. Here may be said to have been in every sense the central point in the great war of the rebellion; these hights form a vantage ground, so to speak, from whichwe may look back to the beginning and hear the firing of the first gun at Sumter; may witness the surrender at Appomattox, the grand review at Washington and the fading from the vision of the scenes of blood and conflict. In point of time, the battle of Gettysburg stood midway; two years had elapsed since the shot that awakened every loyal heart was fired, years in which the cause of Union and liberty had trembled in doubt; two years still in the future was the day when the steadily waning power of the rebellion should utterly collapse, and the old flag Should float unstained and in triumph.
