 Th'. Confederate return of losses is very inaccu- 
 rate and defective. Gen. Meade had over 13,000 
 prisoners ; yet Lee returns but 5,150 missing men. 
 
 Many of Lee's organizations made no returns or 
 only a partial one. From various data it can be 
 stated that Lee's loss was about as follows : 
 
 Killed 4,600 
 
 Wounded, 18,300 
 
 Unwounded prisoners and deserters, . 9.000 
 Total, . . . 31,900 
 
 The Gettysburg campaign commenced June 3d 
 and ended August ist, 1863. In that time there were 
 115 battles, engagements, actions and skirmishes. In 
 all these the Federal loss was :

Battle of Gettysburg fouglit July 1, 2, 3, 1863, be- 
 tween Federal "Army of the Potomac," commanded 
 by Major- General George G. Meade, and Confederate

 In all, twenty-nine States of the Union had troops 
 in the two contending hosts at Gettysburg, Maryland 
 having commands in both armies. 
 
 The State of Virginia supplied one-fourth of the 
 infantry, two-thirds of the cavalry, and nearly two- 
 thirds of the artillery that invaded the North. The 
 States of Virginia, North Carolina and Georgia fur- 
 nished nearly three-fourths of the material compos- 
 ing the Army of Northern Virginia.

 FORCES ENGAGED. 
 
 Widely diverging figures have been given in re- 
 gard to Gen. Lee's force. Immediately after the bat- 
 tle, on account of the lack of accurate information, 
 the estimate was too high. The figures subsequently 
 given by some southern authorities and by the Comte 
 de Paris, were too low. The compiler of this Souvenir 
 devoted months to the critical examination of all at- 
 tainable information on this subject. A full chapter 
 of his forthcoming work is devoted to its discussion.

 ant points. They have opened 16 miles of avenues 
 along the main Union lines, the most important of 
 which are named: 1 Reynolds, 2 Howard, 3 Bu-

 ITEMS ABOUT GETTYSBURG. 
 
 One-eighteenth of the free population of the 
 U. S. fought at Gettysburg. 
 
The Rebellion lasted four years. It comprised 
 S92 fierce engagements. One-nineteenth of the 
 Union loss of the whole war was at Gettysburg. 
 
 The killed and wounded of the two armies at 
 Gettysburg surpassed the present population of the 
 City of Harrisburg. 
 
 The only woman killed was Jenny Wade, a beau- 
 tiful young lady, engaged at the time in baking 
 bread. 
 
 John Burns, an aged citizen, fought in the ranks 
 of the ist Corps, in the first day's fight, until se- 
 verely wounded. 
 
 The first soldier killed on the Gettysburg Battle- 
 Field was George W. Sandoe, belonging to a local 
 cavalry company, killed in a skirmish, June 26th, 1863. 
 
 The 26th North Carolina went into the fight with 
 less than Soo men. It reported 86 killed, 502 wounded; 
 total, 588. This does not include 120 missing. In 
 one company of 84, every officer and man was hit. 
 
 The ist Minnesota went into battle with 252 men. 
 It had 229 killed and wounded. 205 were killed and 
 wounded in one charge, in less than three minutes 
 time— 75 being killed. 
 
 Pickett's division took 4,800 men into the charge. 
 It left 3,393 at or near the Federal works, the 
 slaughter occupying less than three minutes. Of 
 four generals and fifteen regimental commanders, all 
 were killed or wounded except Pickett and one lieu- 
 tenant-colonel, two brigade and twelve regimental 
 commanders being killed. 
 
 In many of the regiments of Longstreet and Hill, 
 every regimental oflficer and nearly every company 
 oflRcer were killed or wounded. 
 
The compiler of this "Gem Souvenir" 
 takes pleasure in calling the attention of the 
 travelling public and army veterans to the 
 fact that the direct route from Harrisburg 
 to the 
 
 WORLD'S GREATEST AND MOST 
 
 BEAUTIFUL BATTLE-FIELD, 
 
 Has passed under the control of the 
 
 Philadelphia & Reading R.R. 
 
 All difficulties of the past in reaching this 
 world-famous field are now obviated by the 
 new and excellent management. 
 
 FOUR TRAINS, EACH WAY, DAILY, BETWEEN 
 HARRISBURG AND GETTYSBURG. 
 
 From any part of the Union you will reach 
 
 Gettysburg most easily by the 
 
 "Reading" R. R. 
 
 DIRECT THROUGH LINE FROM NEW YORK 
 AND PHILADELPHIA. 
 
 If you wish comfort, safety and speed, take 
 the "Reading" Route. 
 
 The Comte de Paris said of Gettysburg : 
 
 " Euroi>e has nothing to compare with it.
