Reseña del editor:

Battle of Waterloo was toN apoleon, tilt: Battle of Gettysburg proved to the Confederates. Though not resulting in the immediate downfall of their power, Gettysburg was the first blow which made it reel, and finally totter to its destruction. The number of troops and guns was considerably less on the field of Waterloo than on that of Gettysburg, and the losses were less. The struggle at the gardens of La Haye Sainte was not unlike that at theW heatfield, and in both the slaughter was terrible. At Waterloo, the gun which heralded the battle was fired at eleven in the morning, and before nightfall the fighting was ended. In marked contrast to this rapidity of combination was the tardiness of action at Gettysburg and the resolution on both sides to yield nothing, the victory for three days remaining undecided. This persistency in action of the Union army was largely due to the steadfast purpose of the privates in the ranks.
