The title places this scene at the Gettysburg cemetery on July 2, the second day of the battle, when fighting raged across Cemetery Ridge, Culp's Hill, and the Wheatfield. The cemetery ground became a Union defensive position and later, after the battle, the site of the Gettysburg National Cemetery, which was dedicated on November 19, 1863, when Abraham Lincoln delivered his address. Pairing Union and Confederate forces in one title suggests the image was made to show both sides in the same landscape, perhaps in a later commemorative setting. Its value lies in showing how the battle's memorial ground and its wartime use were tied together.
