1st Vermont Cavalry Monument

Following the book review of Gettysburg’s Forgotten Cavalry Actions: Farnsworth’s Charge, South Cavalry Field, and the Battle of Fairfield, July 3, 1863 by Eric Wittenberg (published by Savas Beatie), I thought I would post a few pictures of the 1st Vermont Cavalry monument at Gettysburg.

The 1st Vermont participated in Farnsworth’s Charge, which is a highlight of the aforementioned narrative. It was in the vicinity of the monument where Elon Farnsworth fell during his fateful charge.
