The monument to the Eleventh Pennsylvania Infantry Regiment is northwest of Gettysburg on Doubleday Avenue. It was dedicated in 1890 by the State of Pennsylvania.
The 11th Pennsylvania was commanded at the Battle of Gettysburg by Colonel Richard Coulter. He took over command of the brigade on July 1st, and Captain Benjamin F. Haines took command until he was wounded on July 3. Captain John B. Overmyer then took over the regiment.
Sallie, the regimental dog, is represented on the front of the statue. She was given to the regiment as a puppy and took part in all their battles, taking position at the end of the firing line and barking furiously at the enemy. Sallie was separated from the regiment at Gettysburg during the retreat through the town. After the battle when the men returned to the scene of the first day's fighting they found Sallie weak but alive, maintaining a vigil over the dead and dying. Sallie was killed at the Battle of Hatcher's Run in February of 1865, and in spite of heavy Confederate fire several men stopped to bury her. When the monument was designed the regiment's survivors unanimously decided to include a tribute to their smallest comrade.
