Civil War Florida -- THE source for information on Florida's Civil War Soldiers

Description

Damage to the 11th Massachusetts Infantry Monument at the Emmitsburg Road, GNMP (National Park Service / GNMP) As many of you are already aware, three monuments were severely vandalized last Wednesday evening at Gettysbug National Military Park. The monuments commemorating the 114th Pennsylvania Volunteer Infantry and the 11th Massachusetts Infantry on the Emmitsburg Road as well as the 4th New York Battery monument in Devil's Den suffered damage which is estimated to be $75,000 at this point. This senseless attack on our nation's heritage and sacred ground cannot be overlooked, nor should it go unpunished.

The 11th Massachusetts Infantry was one of the regiments of Carr's Brigade, Humphreys' Division, Sickles' III Corps of the Army of the Potomac directly engaged with troops from Perry's Florida Brigade on July 2, 1863 at Gettysburg. As the Florida Brigade advanced from the Northeast Corner of Spangler's Woods towards the Emmitsburg Road, their assault was contested first by the 1st Massachusetts Infantry's skirmish line (see 1st Massachusetts Infantry Skirmish Line Marker) and eventually by the main line of Carr's Brigade at the road itself. The 11th Massachusetts Infantry was stationed just south of the current location of the large diamond-shaped 1st Massachusetts Infantry Monument in the immediate vicinity of the Rogers House, which is no longer standing. 1st Lt. Henry Nichols Blake of Co. K. wrote,

"At this crisis, the soldiers in gray and butternut, yelling and waving the 'stars and bars,' were doublequicking towards the Rogers' house and Emmitsburg Road. A harmless snake rustling through the grass was dispatched by men who were not unbalanced by the perils before them . . . The Regiment was withholding its fire until the Confederates reached and attempted to climb a fence obstructing their progress. A kitten mewing piteously ran from the Rogers' house and jumped on the shoulders of a soldier."
