Monument to Major General George Gordon Meade, Gettysburg

Major General Meade's Statue can be found on Hancock Avenue, looking out over the field in which Pickett's charge took place. The statue stands at nearly 20ft tall with the pedestal included and shows Meade on top of his trusty mount, Old Baldy. Meade is staring out across the field at his old foe, General Lee, for eternity, opposite the field on Confederate Avenue. He forever sits at what has long since been known as the high water mark for the confederacy, next to the angle, in which had the union line broke that day may have been the end of our glorious Union. Having taken command just shortly prior to Gettysburg, his finest hours would surly be on this Battlefield.

Major General George Meade was The commanding general of the Union army at the Gettysburg Battle. He took the command of the North army only 3 days prior to the engagement at Gettysburg against the most important general of the Confederate army, Robert E Lee, but he succeeded!
