Gettysburg


116th Monument Posted by Hello

"The dead of the One Hundred and Tenth Pennsylvania Volunteers lay directly in front, on the ground which that command had vacated but a half hour before, and one young boy lay outstretched on a large rock with his musket still grasped in his hand, his pale, calm face upturned to the sunny sky, the warm blood still flowing from a hole in his forehead and running in a red stream over the gray stone. The young hero had just given his life for his country."
-St. Clair A. Mulholland, commander of the 116th PA- From The Story of the 116th Regiment, Pennsylvania Volunteers in the War of the Rebellion
