1. 2nd Maryland CSA Monument. Blog entry detailing the monument. This being the first Confederate regimental monument placed on the field, there was some resistance from Federal veterans. As Jenny Goellnitz points out, The sharp-eyed will notice if they peruse the Army of Northern Virginia’s Order of Battle that there is, in fact, no 2nd Maryland! And therein lies the relatively interesting history of the monument. (Submitted on November 19, 2008, by Craig Swain of Leesburg, Virginia.)
