Fun information in regards to some of the Gettysburg Battlefield Monuments and Markers.

 Many of the Gettysburg monuments and memorials have hidden details and new discoveries that sometimes need a little explanation.  Its the old adage "can't see the forest for the trees." These videos will deal with some of those gems of information. 

The Virginia Memorial "Avenue". Thousands use this semi-circle drive
to view the front of the Virginia Memorial. This "Avenue" was a last 
minute addition completed days before the formal dedication in 1917.

​
​ 1st Pennsylvania Cavalry Monument. Up close view of a Civil War
​Cavalryman. Amazing detail at eye level.

​116th Pennsylvania Infantry Monument. This amazing monument
has great detail even down to the "bullets" lodge in the fence rails.

Delaware Memorial, a detailed view. The bronze relief was 
created by sculptor Ron Tunison. It has great detail and is a great
​eye level monument to review.

73rd Pennsylvania Infantry Monument, a wonderful bronze relief of their
​early evening fight on East Cemetery Hill.

93rd Pennsylvania Infantry Monuments. Their first monument was dedicated in 1884 
and their second monument was dedicated in 1888. A great story about moving two monuments
​and the debris that can still be found today.

The 2nd Rhode Island Infantry Monument is full of many great details. Unfortunately, because of its height,
many of the details are difficult to view. With this video I wanted to focus on some of these wonderful
features. 

13th Vermont monument featuring Lt. Stephen Brown. The story of Brown on July 3rd, 1863 is brought to life with this monument. He holds a captured Confederate sword and behing his right foot is a small camp hatchet. We dig into the details of this wonderful monument.
