The 75th PA's monument at Gettysburg. This unit, recruited in Philadelphhia, was nearly all German immigrants. It lost 111 men killed, wounded, captured and missing at Gettysburg. Earlier 50 of its number drowned in a raft mishap crossing the Shenandoah in pursuit of Stonewall Jackson. Some of its recruits will make an appearance in Shot Tower.
