New effort initiated to restore Nagle statue on 48th Pennsylvania Monument at Antietam
John Hoptak, a National Park Service ranger at Antietam, has launched an effort to replace the missing sword on General James Nagle’s statue that sits atop the monument to the 48th Pennsylvania Infantry at Antietam.
He has launched a new blogsite at www.amonumentaltask.blogspot.com so people can learn more and learn where to send donations. He is hoping to have all the money raised and the sword physically replaced in two years.
The website includes an official Press Release that all are welcome to use when talking about the project with interested groups or media.
