Union Monuments - Maine10th Maine BattalionThe monument to the Tenth Maine Battalion is south of Gettysburg on the east side of Baltimore Pike near Hunt Avenue. See map > It was erected by the Sate of Maine in 1889. Most of the 10th Maine mustered out early in 1863 at the end of their enlistments, but enough men had signed up for three years service to reorganize as a three company battalion. It was commanded at Gettysburg by Captain John Davis Beardsley, a sawmill owner from Woodstock who had enlisted along with all his mill hands. Assigned to provost guard duty, it had no casualties among its 170 men. From the monument: 10th Maine See more information about the 10th Maine during the Civil War |
