Louisiana State Monument

Dedicated in June 1971, the Louisiana State Monument stands across from Pitzer's Woods off West Confederate Avenue. Out of the more than 3,000 Louisianans who marched to Pennsylvania in the summer of 1863, over 700 became casualties. Known as "Spirit Triumphant," this vivid monument includes a wounded gunner who is clutching a battle flag to his heart as the spirit above him holds a flaming cannonball and sounds a trumpet.
