Cavalry
MONUMENTS AND MARKERS

on the
Gettysburg Battlefield

INDEX

Every Cavalry Monument and Marker in and around the Gettysburg Battlefield is listed and pictured here.  Where available, a capsule history of the particular unit is also included, as well as the location of the Monument.  For detailed histories of the units in Buford's command, see the Unit Histories pages.
The Gettysburg Battlefield is one of the world's true sculpture gardens.  The visitor will see ponderous works of art here, beautifully memorializing units and participants.
If you haven't visited this or any other battlefield yet, I hope these photos will begin encouraging you to make a trip and see these wonderful works for yourself!
