Local pride: The three-day Battle of Gettysburg (July 1–3, 1863) was the bloodiest of the Civil War, with about 51,000 casualties — and four months later Abraham Lincoln delivered the 272-word Gettysburg Address here in about two minutes. The battlefield is preserved with more than 1,300 monuments, one of the largest collections of outdoor sculpture in the world.
