Photographer: Craig Swain
Taken: April 12, 2008
Caption: First New Jersey Cavalry Monument
Additional Description: At Gettysburg, the facing of the monuments is often an important key to the facing of the unit in combat. In this case, the 1st New Jersey Cavalry faced threats from both the north and the west. Thus the "front" of the monument actually faces away from the modern park road. The monument is topped by a sculpture of various cavalry accouterments, including a Spencer repeating carbine, saddle, bugle, and pistol holster.
