1863 · The Battle at Gettysburg

The Battle of Gettysburg involved the largest number of casualties of the entire Civil war and is often described as the war's turning point. Between 46,000 and 51,000 soldiers lost their lives during the three-day Battle. To honor the fallen soldiers, President Abraham Lincoln read his historic Gettysburg Address and helped those listening by redefining the purpose of the war.

Name Meaning

Some characteristic forenames: Italian Angelo, Carmino, Salvatore, Vito.

English (southern): perhaps a variant of Genge 2.

German (Gänge): from Middle High German genge ‘common, circulating (among the people), sprightly’, hence an occupational name for a hawker or peddler; perhaps also a nickname for an energetic person (see Genge 1).
