The Excelsior Brigade Monument at Gettysburg National Military Park.

Journaling says:At the beginning of the war former Congressman Daniel E. Sickles raised an entire brigade. The five regiments that were raised were the 70th, 71st, 72nd, 73rd, and 74th New York infantries. They fought as reinforcements along the Union lines on Emmitsburg Road. Each regiment’s veteran association had the option to erect their own monument, but since they had always fought together they decided to create one large brigade monument.

The monument consists of a pentagonal base. On each of the sides is a plaque detailing the history of one of the regiments. The five columns also represent the five regiments. Originally a bust of General Sickles was to be placed on the inner pedestal, but was never completed. The bronze eagle at the top of the dome sits in a warlike, out-stretched wing-pose represents the brigade’s readiness to strike at their opponent.
