Gettysburg50May 08, 2023

42nd NY Memorial, Gettysburg National Battlefield

 

The Angle was the focus of Pickett's Charge on the final day of the battle, July 3rd, 1863. A few Confederate troops actually reached this point, but not enough, The Southerners were repulsed after both side inflicted horrific carnage on one another,

 

This is the most unusual monument I saw, I'm not sure why the creators of the monument chose to use an image of a Native American for the memorial. If anyone knows, please let me know!
