<< For my birthday, last tuesday, a friend secured for me a pamphlet titled

 "Human Interest Story's of the three Days' Battles at Gettysburg with 
pictures"
By Herbert L. Grimm and Paul L. Roy, copywrite 1927, Times and News 
Publishing Co. Gettysburg Pa.

I think it's a pamphlet sold to the tourists, as there are a lot of pictures 
of monuments and paragraghs about things to see. There's a photo of the 
Peace Memorial, which we know, (and it says here), was dedicated in 1938, 
which leads me to believe it was reprinted several times.

It may be one of the most beautifull Birthday Gifts I didn't buy for myself.

Are any of the esteemed members familiar with it? >>

Yes.  I got a copy of one of the reprints on my first visit to Gettysburg in 
1967.  Probably still around the house somewhere.  They used to be all over 
the place in Gettysburg.  Just about every place in town with a cash 
register seemed to have a stack of them.
