Series & Historical Significance

This Gettysburg issue commemorates the pivotal Battle of Gettysburg, a decisive Union victory in the summer of 1863 that marked a turning point in the Civil War. Often called the High Water Mark of the Confederacy, the battle resulted in approximately 51,000 casualties, making it one of the bloodiest conflicts in American history.
