Monument to the 154th New York Infantry Regiment at Gettysburg
The 154th New York Infantry was commanded at the Battle of Gettysburg by Lieutenant Colonel Daniel B. Allen. It brought 274 men to the field.
A monument to Amos Humiston is about 400 yards south on Stratton Street. Humiston was an enlisted man from the 154th who was mortally wounded on July 1. His unidentified body was found after the battle clutching a photograph of his small children. This led to a nationwide search which identified his wife and children.
