The monument to the 88th Pennsylvania Volunteer Infantry Regiment is northwest of Gettysburg on Doubleday Avenue, the site of the regiment's position during the fighting on July 1st. It was dedicated by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania in 1889.

The 88th Pennsylvania was commanded at the Battle of Gettysburg by Major Benezet F. Foust. He was wounded on the 1st, and Captain Edmund A. Mass then took command. When Captain Mass was captured Captain Henry Whiteside took over the regiment.

First Sergeant Edward L. Gilligan of Company
E was awarded the Medal of Honor for his actions on July 3rd when he "Assisted in the capture of a Confederate flag by knocking down the color sergeant."

I was raised in northern New York State before joining the US Navy where I became drawn to the technical aspects of film photography. During my travels I learned composition techniques, developing, and printing from serious amateurs and professionals. I eventually became more interested in the artistic side of this hobby and continued to explore more creative aspects. My interests focus (no pun intended) on the out-of-doors beauty of our world, both natural and man-made. I hope you enjoy viewing my images as much as I have enjoyed capturing them.
