Love the pictures! If it is not Indiana, it's probably Iowa. Was the picture taken in Southern part of park?
Looking at the sequence of my pics and the park map,it is the Indiana Monument. The one I posted,thinking it was the Missouri Monument,is actually the Iowa Monument. Both the Indiana and Iowa monuments are in the southern part of the park.Love the pictures! If it is not Indiana, it's probably Iowa. Was the picture taken in Southern part of park?
The Illinois Monument is a monster...
Yeah. There are a lotta smaller Illinois monuments at the park too.There were almost 40,000 Illinoisans at Vicksburg, the Army of the Tennessee was almost the Illinois Army ;-). The Army of the Potomac had only one Illinois infantry regiment, the 82nd, it was in the 11th Corps. The 82nd went west after Chickamauga and became part of the Army of the Cumberland, in the 20th Corps.
