There are two monuments to Col. Vincent and his likeness on another. The one that I knew about is http://www.gettysburg.stonesentinels.com/Individuals/Vincent.php

The monument that I was talking about is chiseled in to a large rock on Little Round Top. It is right next to the 44th New York monument.

I never knew it was there until the last time I was there. While I was on Little Round Top, a tour guide came through with a group and pointed it out to them.

I can’t find any mention on this one, anywhere.

I found the monument online to Col. Vincent that I was talking about. The tour guide said no one knows exactly when it was put there, but it has been there since 1864.

Here is a link to it:

And it is right next to the 44th New York monument.
