Michigan monuments at Gettysburg honor cavalry brigades
The Michigan legislature appropriated funds to erect monuments on the Gettysburg battlefield to honor Michigan cavalry and its role in the fight. The four regiments’ commemoration was unified into one monument, placed on the Rummell farm near Gettysburg, with a Custer medallion and regimental insignia, complemented by eighties of granite and life-sized figures. Other monuments on Cemetery Ridge and Little Round Top mark batteries and infantry units with state insignia and battlefield details.
