Description
Impressive and rare stereo view photograph of the monument to honor the 10th Massachusetts at Gettysburg, Pennsylvania. This photo was part of a series by local photographers Mumper & Co. This particular monument, which was dedicated in 1885, is located south of Gettysburg on Sedgwick Avenue.
Mumper & Co. had did a very brisk business selling battlefield-related photographs to Civil War veterans, particularly as the battlefield filled with monuments in the late 19th Century. The 10th Massachusetts brought 416 men to the field, losing 4 enlisted men wounded and 5 missing. Interestingly, the regiment did not fire a single shot; the casualties they endured were the result of Confederate artillery shells fired in the prelude to Pickett’s Charge.
