1863 Signed and Numbered Limited Edition Monument Replicas
Once the retreating regulars of the 5th Corps moved behind them on July 2, 1863, the soldiers of the Bloody Eleventh received the command to fire; “a terrible volley was delivered which caused the foe to waver and turn.” Then the reserves charged across the Valley of Death, with the 11th in the lead, “driving the enemy and deploying as it went.” The 11th Pennsylvania Reserves was commanded by Colonel Samuel M. Jackson.
The monument is located on Ayers Avenue and was dedicated in 1890.
