The Cavalry Corps, 2nd Division, 2nd Brigade was also known as Huey’s Brigade. During the battle of Gettysburg, it served as a member of Gregg’s Division in the Cavalry Corps, Army of the Potomac. The brigade was commanded by Colonel Pennock Huey (March 1, 1828 – September 28, 1903), who was an officer and cavalry brigade commander in the Union Army during the American Civil War. Pennock Huey was born in Pennsylvania, and on September 17, 1861 became a captain in the 8th Pennsylvania Cavalry. He was promoted to major on January 1, 1862, then colonel on June 25, 1863. Huey led the Second Brigade of Gregg's 2nd Division in Pleasonton's Cavalry Corps during the battle of Gettysburg. He was breveted to brigadier general of volunteers for his war service. After the war, Huey married Elizabeth Waln Wistar, daughter of Joseph Wistar of Philadelphia, worked as a merchant and in the canal industry. He wrote his account of the charge at Chancellorsville to reclaim the credit he thought his due, contradicting Pleasonton's account of the action. Huey died on his farm at the age of 75 and was buried in Philadelphia.
The Huey's Brigade - US Brigade Tabletis located at the dead center (on the grass!) of the intersection of Pleasonton Avenue and Humphres Avenue, on the left or north side of the road when traveling in an easterly direction on Pleasonton Avenue; the monument faces the south. Humphres Road does not continue at this intersection as it gives way to a dead end and then a trail which can be walked upon to visit other monuments in line with the erstwhile road. All along both sides of the road are these types of tablets, volunteer monuments and all manner of marker and cannon vital to the history and culture of Gettysburg. The place is a history lesson! [The tablet stands in front of a line of cavalry monuments commemorating the Brigade's service. Although none of the regiments were on the battlefield itself, all four regiments are represented by monuments in the park. - Craig Swain, Contributor to HMDB, citation below] Parking is available at enlarged shoulder cutouts on the right side of the road, directly across from the various monuments. I would advise parking on Humphres Avenue which has a dedicated parking lot for 9 cars. This is directly in back of the famous PA monument. Be sure to keep vehicles off the grass or you will be ticketed by park police. I visited this monument on Thursday, July 5, 2012 at about 6:00 P.M. I used a Canon PowerShot 14.1 Megapixel, SX210 IS digital camera for the photos.
The monument work was done under the direction of the Gettysburg National Park Commission (established by the United States Department of War), after they took over the administration of the park from the Gettysburg Battlefield Memorial Association (whose funds had expired) on March 3, 1893, and whose stewardship was then transferred to the National Park Service in 1933) SOURCE. According to the NRHP narrative, this monument was built in 1911 but finished in 1912, which according to my experience is questionable. I can't resolve if the 1912 date represents a completion of the physical construction of the tablet or an installation date. Other sources have it at 1910 & 1912. I don't know if anyone actually kept exact records of when these things were installed.
Draw the Sword, with descriptive help from the NPS site, offers the following description: One of 74 (or 75 depending who you listen to) brigade monuments erected at Gettysburg by the War Department to describe the movements and itinerary of each Union brigade of the Army of the Potomac. The pedestals consist of sea-green granite with a square 36” x 36” base; they weigh 3500 pounds. On each pedestal is mounted a bronze tablet with rounded corners weighing 300 pounds. Bronze inscription tablet, 4”0’ x 3’8”, attached to slant face of polished sea green granite monolith. 3’0” squared base of monument tapers to a smaller dimension at the tablet. All 5’4” H. The monuments were designed by E.B. Cope. Many of the inscription tablets were made of bronze melted down from Civil War cannons. A set of crossed sabers, the symbol of the Federal Cavalry Corps, is at the top of the tablet, just above the main inscription. The inscription on this tablet reads:
Army of the Potomac
Cavalry Corps Second Division
Second Brigade
Col. Pennock Heuy
2d. 4th. New York 6th. Ohio (10 Cos.)
8th. Pennsylvania Cavalry
Participated in the Gettysburg Campaign with the Division until it arrived at Hanover Junction Pa.
June 30 The Commander of the Division ordered the Brigade to Manchester and all the roads were held by pickets until the afternoon of the 3d.
July 3 Orders were received to go via Westminster to Emmitsburg to take possession of that place.
July 4 Moved to Westminster and received supplies and marched to Emmitsburg arriving at noon.
Pursuant to orders the Brigade joined Third Division Cavalry Corps.
There are hundreds of non-sculpted monumentation for the various Confederate States & Union units which fought at Gettysburg. There are about 10 different variations of tablets, markers & monoliths by my reckoning. Six designs represent brigade (2), division (2), corps (2), & army headquarters (2), each different in a subtle way so as to distinguish between armies. Battalion/battery/advance position markers & regimental monuments for U.S. Regulars & Confederate have their own distinct design (2), bringing the total to 10 designs at the battlefield. The bronze tablets were created by Albert Russell & Sons Co. of Newburyport, Mass. The granite bases which accompany the various tablets were created by the Van Amringe Company from Boston, Mass. The cast iron tablets were manufactured by Calvin Gilbert. The 1910 Gettysburg Commission report lists the awarded contracts to these companies (not Gilbert) for the tablets. All of these tablets were designed by architect Colonel Emmor Bradley Cope (July 23, 1834 - May 28, 1927). He designed pretty much every tablet for both the Union & Rebel armies, each one distinct, w/ several different varieties. He is buried in Evergreen Cemetery 
in Gettysburg, as well he should be as this park and most of the things seen here today were designed by him and as such, are his legacy. These monuments were erected just after the turn of the century during the first & beginning of the second decade of the 20th century. Each one has since been preserved or restored at least twice since the turn of the 21st century. The plaques & tablets were erected by the Gettysburg Park Commission (established by the War Dept.). The Gettysburg Park Commission is also referred to as the Gettysburg National Military Park Commission or the Gettysburg National Park Commission, to clear up any confusions, especially my own.
On October 1, 1898, the Gettysburg National Park Commission in a letter to the Secretary of War set gave recommendations for continuing the task of organizing & progressing the work of the Gettysburg National Military Park. Every November they wrote their annual report which outlined the work of the GNPC for that year. The following is an excerpt from that report relevant to this waymark. The link at the end of the paragraph will take you to the entire report. The method of marking the positions of troops on this field, as approved by the War Department, is to place the principal tablet or monument of each command at the position occupied by the command in the main line of battle, and to mark the several important positions subsequently reached by each command in the course of the battle by subordinate and ancillary tablets, with appropriate brief inscriptions giving interesting details and occurrences and noting the day and hour as nearly as possible. SOURCE
Most of the Commission reports have been digitized and can be found HERE. The initial 1893 report up to & including 1921 can be found here. 1922 to 1926 are missing & have yet to be discovered. The years 1927 to 1933 were discovered in 1996 and are also included. To my knowledge this is the most comprehensive list of documents that illustrated the development and formation of the park.
Information about these specific types of monuments:
BRIGADE HEADQUARTERS MARKERS (FOR UNION & CONFEDERATE TABLETS)
Brigade Headquarters (and Confederate artillery battalions, equivalent to Union artillery brigades) are bronze tablets mounted at an angle on a stone pedestal. They are the most numerous headquarters at Gettysburg, with over 70 Union and over 60 Confederate examples on the field. Union headquarters are marked with their corps or service branch symbol (like a cross, clover or crescent moon), while Confederate headquarters are simply labeled "C.S.A.". There are seventy-four brigade markers at Gettysburg honoring the AOP’s various brigades. (Other sources say there are 75). They were built by Albert Russell & Sons Co. of Newburyport, Massachusetts and Charles Kappes. The pedestals consist of sea-green granite with a square 36” x 36” base; they weigh 3500 pounds. On each pedestal is mounted a bronze tablet with rounded corners weighing 300 pounds. There are sixty-four brigade markers honoring the Army of North Virginia's various brigades. They were built by Van Amringe Granite Company (pedestals), Albert Russell & Sons Co., Newburyport, Mass (tablets) and Charles Kappes (foundations). The last was completed in December 1910. The 1910 date is disputed by other sites listing the end dates as 1912. The monuments consist of red circular Maine granite bases 34 1/2 inches diameter and weighing 3,000 pounds. On each base is mounted a 300 pound bronze tablet. SOURCE & SOURCE
