Preface

The Gettysburg Battle-field Memorial Association, when it transferred its grounds and the monuments erected thereon to the General Government, and thereby practically concluded its work, decided to publish a history of the Association, including a brief account of the battle itself.

The work was published for private distribution only.

There was, however, such a demand for the book that arrangements were made with the author for the publication of the work in its present form, curtailing the history of the Memorial Association, which might not be interesting to the general readers.
