Floridians of Perry's Brigade comprised of the 2nd, 5th, and 8th
Florida Infantry fought here with great honor as members of
Anderson's Division of Hill's Corps and participated in the heaviest
fighting of July 2 and 3, 1863. The Brigade suffered 445
casualties of the 700 men present for duty. Like all Floridians
who participated in the Civil War, they fought with courage and
devotion for the ideals in which they believed by their noble
example of bravery and endurance. They enable us to meet with
confidence any sacrifice which confronts us as Americans.
