(CIVIL WAR CENTENNIAL ISSUE)
More than 51,000 soldiers died or sustained life-threatening injuries at Gettysburg in July 1863. On November 19, 1863, Abraham Lincoln delivered his Gettysburg Address and consecrated the National Cemetery at Gettysburg. A century later, the Post Office Department held a public competition to design a commemorative Gettysburg stamp. |
