102nd Pennsylvania Infantry

  The 102nd Pennsylvania came from Allegheny County and was raised during the late summer of 1861 following 1st Manassas.  Only a detachment of 103 men were present at Gettysburg under the command of Lt. Robert W. Lyon (1842-1904), a blacksmith Butler.

The regiment on July 1 was detailed at Manchester to guard the trains.

The monument stands where the Regiment was posted on July 3. The monument is carved to look like a tree stump with various accouterments of the Civil War soldier draped around it.  It is located along the Weikert Farm Lane, just to the north of the Valley of Death below Little Round Top.
