President Eisenhower's Gettysburg visit featured a minimal staff with Maj. Gen. Howard Snyder and James Hagerty attending. The move aligns with Mrs. Eisenhower's desire for quiet after his cerebral attack, contrasting earlier trips with large staffs and makes this pattern likely for future farm visits. A stray black dog briefly wandered the White House entrance as lawmakers arrived.
