10th Pennsylvania Reserves (39th Infantry)

  One of two Pennsylvania regimentals cast entirely of bronze (the other belongs to the 56th Pennsylvania), the 10th Reserve monument stands along South Confederate Avenue in the area between Big and Little Round Top.  The staute depicts a soldier at the position “trail arms” advancing up the slope of the hill.  The monument cost $3,000.00 and was dedicated in September 1890.  The soldier is larger than life at seven feet tall.

Raised from the counties of Beaver, Crawford, Clarion, Mercer, Washington, Warren, and Venango, the regiment was commanded at Gettysburg by Col. Adroniram J. Warner (1834-1910), the head of the Union school in Mercer.  He later served in the U.S. Congress.
