Little Round Top View, Gettysburg Battlefields

Monuments in the distant trees and along the road at the bottom of the hill mark remembrances of both Confederate and Union Army activity below. Boulders at the top of this hill were dropped into place by Union soldiers for defensive breastworks. It is said that the Confederate nerves were a bit rattled hearing the cracking sounds of the large boulders falling into place throughout that dark July night.
