Dedicated
July 3, 1893
The
largest regimental monument on the battlefield, this granite castle
was built 44 feet high to represent the 44th New York Infantry
and 12 feet square to represent two companies of the 12th New
York Infantry. Daniel Butterfield regimental commander
of the 12th Infantry, first brigade commander of the 44th and
army Chief of Staff at Gettysburg designed the monument.
General Butterfield also composed the Taps bugle call.
Bronze
plaques featuring bas reliefs of General Butterfield and General
Francis Barlow can be found inside the chamber, along with plaques
containing a muster roll for each company of the regiment. A circular
staircase leads to an observation deck. This distinctive monument
is located on the summit of Little Round Top. Much of the funds
for the monument came from regimental survivors.
