Dedicated
November 13, 1994
Two soldiers, one Union and one Confederate, support one another
as they limp away from the fighting on Culp’s Hill. This monument
symbolizes the long healing process that began when the battle
ended. More than 3,000 Maryland soldiers fought on both sides
at Gettysburg. A plaque on the base lists the six Union and five
Confederate commands from Maryland that participated in the battle.
Lawrence
M. Ludtke sculpted the 13-ft., 2,000-lb. statue. His portrait
and figurative sculptures are represented in prominent institutions
across the United States, including the United States Air Force
Academy, Johns Hopkins Medical School, the White House and the
Pentagon. The memorial’s dedication took place 131 years, to the
week, after Lincoln’s Gettysburg address. A time capsule has been
placed under the entrance walk.
