93rd Pennsylvania Infantry

The 93rd Pennsylvania Infantry has two monuments at Gettysburg; this one of red granite with a distinctive blue tile cross is located along Sedgwick Avenue in front of the large equestrian to General Sedgwick. A second, larger monument is located nearby, just to the north of the Wheatfield Road. This monument marks where the unit was formed up by Sedgwick in line of battle; the second monument is located where the unit advanced against the enemy.

It suffered 10 wounded during the battle of 270 engaged.

Raised from the counties of Berks, Lebanon, and Mountor in October 1861, the regiment was commanded at Gettysburg by Maj. John I. Nevin (1837-1884), a teacher in Sewickley prior to the War.
