North Carolina State Memorial Gettysburg National Military Park, Pennsylvania #NC-10311-MM - Notecards Also available in Assortment Pack #AST-853 Open Edition Prints will be available early 2003 Dedicated July 3, 1929 Sculptor Gutzon Borglum, best known for carving the four presidents at Mount Rushmore, used photos of North Carolinian veterans as his inspiration for this bronze memorial. Portrayed are five North Carolina solders at the height of the disastrous “Pickett’s Charge” on July 3, 1863; Orren Randolph Smith, designer of the Confederate national flag, fittingly served as the model for the color bearer. The monument marks a spot close to where Major General Johnston Pettigrew’s brigade first entered the open fields that fateful afternoon. A quarter of the Confederate soldiers who were killed or wounded at Gettysburg hailed from North Carolina. Near the sculpture stands a monolith listing the 41 North Carolina Units represented at the Battle of Gettysburg. Also of interest are the scattered dogwood trees from North Carolina. This memorial originally was approved during the battle’s 50th anniversary commemoration in 1913, but the project was delayed by World War I. Text © 2002 Terry White, Drawing © 2002 Bill Harrah
