Little Round Top - Gettyburg National Military Park (CSC_1123)
A statue of Brig General Warren stands watch on the crest of Little Round Top. It was here that the general surveyed the battleground, noting the Confederate troops gathering in the distant tree line and realized that this critical part of the Federal defensive line was occupied by only a handful of Union signal men. He immediately requested infantry to defend the hilltop. His decisive actions prevented the success of the rebel attack and possibly saved the Union Army from defeat that day.
