    Description

    The majority of this 20-page
    Official Program
    program focuses on the July 1-3, 1963 Centennial events at Gettysburg, although one page is devoted to displays, exhibits and special events in surrounding communities.
    The illustration by John Maxwell appears on the front cover of the
    Official Program
    .  The program was acquired by an attendee at the Centennial event, and has remained in the same family ever since.
    The planning for “
    A Nation United on the 100th Anniversary of the Battle of Gettysburg July 1-3, 1963
    ” began more than seven years prior to the observance
    .
    The 100th Anniversary of the Battle of Gettysburg and Lincoln’s Gettysburg Address Commission (better known as the Pennsylvania Commission) was created by an Act of the Pennsylvania General Assembly on April 20th 1956 and signed into law the same day by Governor George M. Leader.
    The opening event at Gettysburg on June 30th featured an address by General, and former President, Dwight D. Eisenhower.
    Special Civil War exhibits were provided by the Department of Defense.
    As stated in the Official Program, during the several days before the Centennial events at Gettysburg, several Pennsylvania communities which were involved in the 1863 Confederate invasion conducted commemorations.
    These included Columbia, Wrightsville, Hanover, Carlisle, Camp Hill, and Waynesboro.
