Gettysburg Monuments 018 - Statue of Brigadier General Alexander Hays near the Gettysburg National Military Park Visitor's Center and Bookstore. Note that his sword is missing.  Numerous monuments at Gettysburg have been vandalized in the past several years.  General Hays was from Pittsburgh and was buried in Allegheny Cemetery in Lawrenceville.  His real sword (the one he used in the Civil War) is at the Heinz History Center in downtown Pittsburgh.  This monument stands honoring those who served in the American Civil War from July 1st-3rd, 1863 during the Battle of Gettysburg. Statue is at the Gettysburg National Military Park in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania.

This series of b-roll footage from the Civil War Minutes documentary series (on DVD) is like a virtual battlefield tour of this historic American national park. 

Shots filmed by Mark Bussler, producer of the Civil War Minutes Union & Confederate documentary series, Horses of Gettysburg and writer and director of "Westinghouse", a film about industrialist and Civil War veteran, George Westinghouse. Park Entrance.
