Reviews of Camp Letterman
"Camp Letterman was the hospital for wounded soldiers from both armies that was opened on this site after the Battle of Gettysburg was concluded and served to consolidate all the remaining field hospitals on the battlefield in one central location. Camp Letterman officially opened on July 20th, 1863 and closed 4 months later on November 20th, 1863. By the time Camp Letterman finally shut down over 14,000 Union soldiers and 6,800 Confederate soldiers received treatment, but more than 1,200 soldiers died because of their wounds, infection, or disease. Little remains to mark the location today, save for one monument located just South of York St."
