Virginia State Memorial Gettysburg National Military Park, Pennsylvania #NC-10316-MM - Notecards Also available in Assortment Pack #AST-853 Open Edition Prints will be available early 2003 Dedicated June 8, 1917 This is the first southern state monument erected on the battlefield. The bronze and granite memorial honors General Robert E. Lee and the troops he led. To attain authenticity, sculptor Frederick William Sievers studied photos and a life mask of the general. He also contemplated the skeleton of Lee’s horse, Traveller, at Washington and Lee University. The figures at the base of the monument represent the diverse backgrounds of Virginia’s soldiers at Gettysburg. Depicted are a professional man, a mechanic, an artist, a businessman, a farmer, and two boys. The monument has been positioned near the center of Seminary Ridge, where Lee observed parts of the battle. Less than a mile away stands the equestrian statue of Major-General George Gordon Meade, the Army of the Potomac’s commander. The opposing generals face each other forever across the battlefield.
