There are simple battlefield rock carvings which may or may not have been placed there at the time of the battle by actual participants. The first formal memorial was a memorial urn placed by the 1st Minnesota Infantry and since that moment on the argument has been going on as to what constituted an acceptable and appropriate memorial. Seven Equestrian Statues, eighteen Bronze Memorials, 36 Individual or unit monuments, 29 differenty State memorials, 428 unit flank markers and the total of other markers and there are about 1,342 markers, tablets and memorials to study and to ponder. Some may aid in the understanding of the battle, but most do not.

How many tombstones are there in Gettysburg national park?
According to the Trailhead map of the Gettysburg Battlefield there ar 439 Monuments and 416 Markers and tablets which commemorate the July 1863 Civil War Battle.My brother and I have researched this pretty carefully. We began with Kathy Georg Harrison's The Location of the Monuments, Markers, and Tablets on Gettysburg Battlefield (Thomas Publications, 1993), and Gettysburg: The Complete Pictorial of Battlefield Monuments by D. Scott Hartwig and Ann Marie Hartwig (Thomas Publications, 1995). We supplemented these excellent books with the Trailhead Graphics Map of the Gettysburg National Military Park (2000) that lists the locations of the monuments. As we compared these lists, and then went out into the field to find the monuments, we discovered minor inaccuracies and omissions in all of them, as well as several monuments that have been added since the publication dates. How many are there? Both Harrison and Hartwig cite the number 1320, but neither of their works actually list that many separate monuments (presumably that number includes flank markers). To some extent it depends on how you define "monument." If you define it too broadly, General Pickett's Buffet and Paddy O'Rourke's bar could be seen as monuments. Our definition is constantly evolving, but essentially we see a monument as a tribute to the battle, normally made of stone or metal, that was erected by either the veterans or the National Park Service. Following Harrison, we have included several rock carvings that commemorate a particular regiment or soldier (but not the graffiti carvings of civilians). Although we are counting flank markers, we decided not to count stones or markers that are part of a monument though physically separate (e.g. the border stones surrounding the North Carolina monument), as long as they were present when the monument was dedicated. Although it's listed in Harrison, we decided not to include the monument to the WWI Tank Corps since it does not relate to the Civil War battle. Nor did we include the statue of Lincoln and the tourist that is located on the town square. Our list presently has 914 separate monuments, markers, or commemorative stones. This figure does not include the 428 flank markers; thus our current total is 1342.
