10th United States Infantry

The 10th United States Infantry’s monument is located with the rest of the U.S. Regular infantry monuments near the Wheatfield and Day’s Hill. For such a small regiment, it suffered severe casualties.

There were only 3 companies (D, G, and H) consisting of just over 100 men at Gettysburg under the command of Capt. William Clinton (1817-1871), a veteran of the Mexican War. (Sadly, no evidence exists on whether this Bill Clinton understood the meaning of “is”.) The original unit was organized at the Carlisle Barracks in 1855; in 1861, the unit was headquartered at Fort Laramie in the Nebraska Territory.
