On a gleaming sunny day in May, Himself and I visited Vicksburg National Military Park in Mississippi. There are approximately 1300 monuments here... incredible pieces of sculpture and architecture.
This is the Minnesota Monument; which is made of granite and stands 90 feet tall.
Wisconsin infantryman monument.
"Cavalryman" statue
The Ulysses S Grant statue stands at the site of his battlefield headquarters.
The Rhode Island memorial. This statue is of a soldier who has retrieved a fallen unit battle flag.
Lovely interpretation of the theme, that Minnesota Monument is pretty impressive! :)
