The monument to Albert Wolson is south of Gettysburg on Hancock Avenue in Ziegler's Woods in front of Cyclorama. He was a drummer boy and did not see any action.
The last soldier that fought for the Union and saw action was James Albert Hard.

It should be noted that since the end of the war, a LOT of information was either lost or destroyed. Especially with the Confederacy. As you will notice with a LOT of the rosters for both the Union & Confederacy, a lot of them are incomplete or have no names. Some units only have a few names that were found over the course of time. Units that should have over 1,000 men's names, might only have 3-400 or maybe less.
Starting to get a little overwhelmed with all the states that I'm doing. I wanted this to be the place to go to find as much information on state units for both the Union & Confederate's. I decided to cut back and start to doing what is referred to as "The Tri-State Area." There will be 3 Tri-State Areas that I will be working on and it will include 4 states. The New York metropolitan area which covers parts of the states of New York, New Jersey and Connecticut. (This is the most commonly identified tri-state area.) The next one will be The Delaware Valley region which includes Eastern Pennsylvania, southern New Jersey and Northern Delaware. (I won't be doing Northern Delaware) The Pittsburg tri-state area will include the rest of Pennsylvania, Ohio and West Virginia of which I will only be doing Pennsylvania and not Ohio and West Virginia. In case I confused you, the following states will be the only ones listed:
New York
New Jersey
Connecticut
Pennsylvania
I will be keeping the U.S. Colored Troops, Generals of the Union, U.S. Navy and U.S. Marines
| Connecticut | New York |
| New Jersey | Pennsylvania |
| Generals of the Union | U.S. Colored Troops |
| U. S. Marines | U. S. Navy |
