7th Indiana Infantry
Posted to the Project on 29 Dec 07
Indian’s monuments at Gettysburg are quite simple, with exception of the large state monument raised in the 1970s that stands at Spangler’s Spring. The 7th Indiana monument does not vary from that rule. It is located at the base of the Culp’s Hill tower at the summit.
Raised from the counties of Dearborn, Decatur, Johnson, Hendricks, Marion and Ohio (county), the regiment was commanded by Col. Ira G. Grover (1832-1876), a lawyer from Greensburg.
This simple monument marks the regiment’s position on July 1, 2, and 3, 1863. The only real feature of the monument is the state seal.
