| 説明 | The monument above to the 111th New York Infantry Regiment is located in the Gettysburg National Military Park near the Bryan Farm on Cemetery Ridge. The monument was dedicated in 1891 by the State of New York.The 111th New York was commanded at Gettysburg by Colonel Clinton D. MacDougall. He was wounded on July 3, 1863, and Lieutenant Colonel Isaac M. Usk took command until he, too, was wounded, when Caption Aaron P. Seeley took over the regiment.The 111th, along with its sister regiments in the brigade, had been branded as the "Harpers Ferry cowards" for their surrender - through no fault of their own - as part of the Union garrison at Harper's Ferry during the Antietam campaign in September 1862. Paroled but forced to spend the winter of 1862-63 in a Union prisoner of war camp in Chicago until they were officially exchanged, the brigade was looking for a chance to clear their name - and got their wish at Gettysburg on Friday afternoon, July 3rd, helping to repel the Pickett-Pettigrew Charge.Image by Ron Cogswell on June 1, 2009, using a Nikon D80 and minor Photoshop effects.www.civilwar.orgDSC_0014 V2 |
