New York State Monument (National Cemetery)

Geschichte

Das Monument wurde am 2.Juli 1893 auf dem Nationalfriedhof eingeweiht. Es besteht aus "Hallowell"-Granit und ist über 30 m hoch. Die Figur und auch die Tafeln wurden von dem Künstler Casper Buberl gestaltet. Auf der Spitze der Säule befindet sich eine 5 m hohe Statue, die den Staat New York repräsentiert. Die Statue stellt eine Frau dar, die einen Kranz auf einem Grab niederlegt. Die Figur weint um die 6.700 Soldaten aus New York, die hier ín den drei Tagen fielen. An der Säule befinden sich mehrere Bronzetafeln. Das Bronzerelief, welche unten um die ganze Säule herumläuft, zeigt 4 verschiedene Szenen aus den Kämpfen: den Tod von General Reynolds, die Verwundung von General Hancock, die Verwundung von General Sickles und auch den Kriegsrat von General Slocum. Die Tafeln an der Basis des Monuments führen alle Offiziere aus New York auf, die hier fielen oder tödlich verwundet wurden. Zudem findet man die Symbole aller Armee-Korps und der 4 Armeezweige auf der Vorderseite des Monuments.
