*All of these amazing images are in the PA archives and are public domain. However, there are sooooo many documents and most of them are extremely hard to read. Until I can get the best of them posted for you, these full size originals AND SO MANY MORE can be found HERE on pages 259-265. And HERE on pages 86-112 of the archives. Check them out!

(At some point when it is not 3 a.m. and tears are not blurring my eyes from stumbling upon this beautiful resource, I will translate all 30+ pages of them for you and post a nice summary of what I have learned here. ~Becky)

FUN FACT
• The PA 98th Gettysburg monument (the one on the John Weikert Farm) cost $1,500 and was made by John Ferguson Marble and Granite Works.
