Tourists from around the world admire the 1300-plus monuments on the Gettysburg battlefield in Pennsylvania. But time, nature and vandals are taking a toll. This OnQ documentary profiles the people working to protect, repair and raise funds for the Gettysburg monuments, and introduces volunteers who spruce up the battlefield. You'll also hear from the guides and historians who preserve the monuments in a more personal way: by keeping alive the unique and poignant stories behind these "stone soldiers."

Coming Soon!
"Stone Soldiers" is being expanded from its current 30-minute format to a one-hour program, premiering in the fall of 2008 on WQED-TV, from the award-winning team of writer/producer David Solomon and photographer/editor Paul Ruggieri.
