A soldier lies dead on a battlefield hillside, his rifle still close at hand, with the open ground rising around him. Photographers who worked at Gettysburg in the weeks after the fighting of July 1 to 3, 1863, recorded scenes like this for a northern public that had rarely seen war dead shown so plainly. Some of these views were arranged or moved for the camera, which is worth keeping in mind when reading them. The picture still asks viewers to consider what the battle cost the men who fought there.
