The 4th Pennsylvania Cavalry’s monument is located on Hancock Avenue near the Pennsylvania Monument.

Members of the Cavalry corps, the regiment was nicknamed the “64th Volunteers.” Their commander at Gettysburg was Lt. Col. William E. Doster (1837-1919), a native of Bethlehem and an attorney. A law student at the beginning of the War, Doster actually was appointed to defend two of the Lincoln assassination co-conspirators. The regiment’s 300 men were in support of a battery near the position marked by their monument.
