The Longstreet Memorial Fund exists for one purpose to erect a monument of General James Longstreet on the Gettysburg battlefield.

To date, $100,000 has been collected from thousands of contributors across the country in a grass roots effort to honor Lee's Old War Horse. The fund has increased from the sale of Longstreet memorabilia such as t-shirts, biographies by Dr. Piston andMr. Jeffry Wert, prints created specifically for the project, and bronze statues of both the General and the model of the monument. Special events have been planned by the Memorial Committee to assist in raising the remainder of the funds. Special events have been planned by the Memorial Committee to assist in raising the remainder of the funds. Honorarium and memorial donations are welcome.
