Gettysburg Monument Pictures

 

Anyone who has visited Gettysburg is instantly captivated with the monuments there – even more so when we can point and say – that one is for my ancestor’s regiment.  In our house, my oldest daughter can in an almost liturgical voice identify the 74th monument – “It’s the 74th Pennsylvania monument and August Funk was a member and…”  Parents know what I mean by liturgical…

 

Well Daniel Levin, descendant of Sgt. Pichel of Company G and a professional photographer (www.levinphoto.com) took a road trip recently to Gettysburg to see the monuments that were there.  Here are the results – it may take a few moments to load – but boy they are awesome.
