Sallie was reported to have taken position during the Battle of Gettysburg and barked furiously at the Confederate Army. There lies Sallie the Dog, a pit bull terrier, that became a mascot for the 11 th Pennsylvania throughout the Civil War. But to the park visitors that stop and walk around to the front of the monument, that’s the real story. It peacefully looks out over the field of the first day’s fighting.įrom the road, the monument appears like many of the battlefield’s memorials – an infantry soldier standing armed atop a granite base.
The monument to the 11 th Pennsylvania Volunteers stands in a row of Union monuments on Doubleday Avenue on Oak Ridge. We’ll start with probably the easiest, yet most heart-warming story.
