 During the Battle of Gettysburg, as the remnants of Pickett's Charge reached the stone wall near a copse of trees, they were met by the 69th Pennsylvania infantry. Many of the Pennsylvanians were out of ammunition by that time, and fierce hand to hand fighting ensued.
The piece depicts a 69th infantryman with his musket reversed for use as a club as he steps up on the wall to administer a blow.
This carving is in a private collection in Pennsylvania
