1863 Signed and Numbered Limited Edition Monument Replicas
The 60th New York fended off serious attacks on the evening of July 2, 1863. “If ever men loaded and fired more rapidly than the 60th did on that occasion, I never saw them do it,” recalled on soldier. This marker indicates the advanced position of its Company I. The regiment was commanded at Gettysburg by Colonel Abel Godard. It brought 273 men to the field, losing 11 enlisted men killed and Lieutenant Myron Stanley and 6 enlisted men mortally wounded, and 1 officer and 33 enlisted men wounded.
The monument is located just south of the summit of Culp’s Hill and was dedicated in 1889.
