This picture was taken at sundown only days after the 145th anniversary of the battle. I've been to this spot many times but never fail to be astounded by the sheer tenacity of these men. Their actions on July 3, 1863 are simply incredulous.

A beautiful monument to the 90th Regiment PA Volunteers. How fitting that its foundation appears to be one of the huge boulders that are found throughout the Battlefield. It stands as a testimony to the massive struggle that took place on these fields. |

On this side of the 90th Regiment PA Volunteer monument is a plaque noting that it was placed on the Gettysburg battlefield by the Survivors Association in 1889. |

This has to be one of the
most incredible monuments on the Gettysburg battlefield. It's a monument
to the 26th North Carolina Regiment who fought their way across the
field of Pickett's Charge to within 10 paces of the Union cannon at the
Angle. They could hear the cannon crews yelling, "Pull!" and were
devastated by the blast.
