Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Pennsylvania at Antietam Owing to the very generous State appropriation of $2,500 for each of the thirteen Pennsylvania Commands to whom regimental memorials have been erected at Antietam, it has been possible to secure for every position to be marked a Statue Memorial. The wisdom, of such selection presents itself very forcibly as the several battlefields are visited upon which memorials have been placed, and the character and details of the same carefully studied. The result has more than confirmed this choice, and the thirteen Statue Memorials, with their respective pedestals of granite form a group of Statuary representing with accuracy the uniform accountrements and tactics employed in the Civil War of ´61 to ´65, which no other Commonwealth has ever attempted to produce on any of the Nation´s Battlefields. The value and significance of such a collection of Statuary in enduring bronze and granite, must appeal to every thinking man. Four bronze statues and nine granite statues with one exception, each seven feet in height (124th Infantry being eight feet) mounted on nine feet granite pedestals of appropriate design, detail and proportion. Among the statues are three portrait statues - General James Nagle, 48th Infantry, General Benjamin C. Christ, 50th Infantry, in bronze, and Color Sergt. George Simpson, 125th Infantry, in granite. The balance of the statues are ideal subjects, chosen by the several regimental committees and approved by the Commission, because of their historical as well as their artistic value.
