mailed 1929 from Gettysburg
back: covers 17 acres of ground on the highest point on Cemetery Hill. The dead lie in sections, each representing one of the 18 Northern States to which the soldiers belong. There are also 3 sections of unknown dead and one of the US Regular Army, making in all 22 sections. No fairer resting place for a nations heroes could be conceived. Here lies the bodies of 3555 slain, of whom 979 are unknown.
