"The Wheatfield," Gettysburg, 1997

View across the infamous Wheatfield. Round Top is in the center background and Little Round Top on the left hidden by the tree trunk. A pastoral and bucolic scene today but at evening of July 2, 1863, it was a field of horrors with thousands of corpses and wounded bodies strewn across it.

A more recent, panoramic view of "The Wheatfield" taken in the spring of 2012.
