Gettysburg National Military Park
Gettysburg, PA 17325
Dear Mr. Earnst:
Our Office has been asked to examine the issue of ownership responsibility for the North Carolina Monument at the Gettysburg National Military Park.
The State is concerned about its responsibility to determine the level of care afforded this important statue on behalf of the citizens of North Carolina. We are especially concerned because the State has previously adopted restoration standards for other North Carolina monuments. Anything less for our Gettysburg statue would create special concern.
Could you please provide assistance in documenting the right to maintain this monument, perhaps even at levels different from the standard Park Service Criteria?
I look forward to hearing from you.
Sincerely,
Rufus L. Edmisten
Attorney General
Douglas A. Johnston
Assistant Attorney General
