111th Pennsylvania Infantry

The monument to the 111th Pennsylvania is one of the tallest on Culp’s Hill. It is located in the saddle of the hill, near Pardee Field. A tall granite shaft is topped by an eagle with outspread wings.

The 111th was recruited from the counties of Crawford, Erie, and Warren; it mustered in at Erie on January 24, 1862. It’s commander was Lt. Col. Thomas M. Walker (1834-1910), a Princeton educated civil engineer from Erie.

Nearby, the earthworks constructed by the 111th Pennsylvania are still visible. The brigade was temporarily withdrawn and had to regain the works on July 3.
