Hey guys, This is one of my absolute favorite monuments on the battlefield. I have many images of the North Carolina State memorial on West Confederate Ave. The monument itself was dedicated on July 3rd 1929 and was sculpted by the same man that did Mount Rushmore...Gutzon Borglum. The image is from behind, I was trying to show the vast distance that they had to cover on that third day during Pickett's Charge.
Around the battlefield there is a scarcity of southern regimental monument on the battlefield, and with that lack the southern states have placed large state memorials along west and south confederate avenue. One of the first to be placed was this 15'9" monument that was made out of standard bronze which was sculpted to commemorate the valor, bravery, and courage of the men from North Carolina.
I have many more images of this monument and will add some more detail about the brigades later, take a look at this image and let me know what you think.
