Virginia Sergeant Remembered With Vicksburg Battlefield Statue
Virginia sergeant Obenchain is honored alongside three West Point generals with a statue at Vicksburg National Military Park. The Botetourt Battery, led by Major Anderson, fought at Port Gibson and Champions Hill during the 1863 siege, with several guns lost or captured. Obenchain sketched maps of the position during the siege and later helped pinpoint it for the park, becoming a key link between battlefield history and memorialization.
