The New York Auxiliary Monument at Gettysburg National Military Park.
Journaling says: The New York Auxiliary monument is one the more recent Union memorials at Gettysburg. The state of New York had 19 native sons serving as general officers in command of corps, divisions, or brigades, but statues had only been created to honor eight of them. The New York Battlefield Monuments Commission decided to create a memorial to all New Yorkers who commanded united at Gettysburg from the rank of major to major general. The monument would include the names of thirty-nine men along with the names of the army provost marshal, Marsena Patrick, and the Chief of Staff, General Daniel Butterfield who were both native New Yorkers. The monument is made of Concord granite in a semicircular shape. The design radiates outward from the center. In the middle is a large granite eagle and laurel victor’s wreath. The forty-one names are carved on the panels. At the dedication there were almost 100 Civil War veterans in attendance and two-thirds had participated in the battled.
