This resin piece is a copy of the monument erected by the state of West Virginia to honor the 3rd West Virginia Cavalry who fought at Gettysburg. The monument was dedicated in September of 1889.
The actual monument is west of Gettysburg on the east side of Buford Avenue. The 3rd was apart of Col. Thomas Devin’s 2nd Brigade, 1st Cavalry Division under Capt. Seymour Conger. They were known for deterring Confederate troops to Cashtown on June 30 and holding Heth’s Division on July 1.
This replica monument stands approximately 7 ½” tall by 5 ½” across the base. It is complete with all the text and imagery that is found on the original monument. Piece is signed on the bottom by the artist.
These were produced by Gary Casteel who is well known for his talent in producing copies of monuments on the field and his pieces are much sought after. [mk] [ph:m]
