Today is #statuefriday for the #sevendaysoutside challenge by 
The Battle of Gettysburg was the largest and most deadly battle of the American Civil War. The battle lasted three days and involved over 160,000 men.
More than a quarter were killed, wounded, or taken prisoner.
Today, Gettysburg National military Park has 1200 monuments.
The monument was sculpted by American sculptor Gutzon Borglum, who later went on to carve the mountain in South Dakota known as Mount Rushmore.
The Text on the Monument reads:
"To the eternal glory of the North Carolina soldiers. Who on this battlefield displayed heroism unsurpassed sacrificing all in support of their cause. Their valorous deeds will be enshrined in the hearts of men long after these transient memorials have crumbled into dust."
"Thirty two North Carolina regiments were in action at Gettysburg July 1,2,3, 1863. One Confederate soldier in every four who fell here was a North Carolinian."
"This tablet erected by the North Carolina Division United Daughters of the Confederacy."
