Continuing to discuss other miniature souvenir
replicas from the Gettysburg Battlefield, such as the Eternal
Light Peace Memorial I wrote about previously, other monuments have also been
produced as souvenirs. Very small pewter
replicas were produced a few years ago including the Pennsylvania State Memorial and the Virginia State
Monument with Robert E. Lee atop a horse. Others include the
Evergreen-Cemetery-Gatehouse, First Shot, 62nd Pennsylvania, 12th
New Jersey, and the Gettysburg High Water Mark Memorial.
Sculptor Gary
Casteel produced some miniature monuments including the Longstreet Headquarters. These are made from Pecan Resin and were produced at one time to
raise money for the battlefield. I’ve been doing research on a monument with 3
rifles perched together with a drum and soldiers’ backpacks below. It may
represent one of a few different memorials such as the 10th Massachusetts
Volunteer Infantry Regiment or the 90th Pennsylvania Volunteer Infantry Regiment at
Antietam. Do you know of other replica monuments from Gettysburg?
