Round Top, the wooded hill east of Gettysburg, was the anchor of the Union line's southern flank on July 2, 1863, and this view shows the earthworks thrown up there in the battle's aftermath. Soldiers and engineers built breastworks of earth and stacked stone along the crest, and the interior, with its raised firing step and packed dirt walls, shows how men on the line sheltered while they fired. Photographs like this one, made by the Gettysburg studios within months of the fight, remain some of the most direct evidence of how the ground looked when the armies left.
