A cast-iron cannon barrel angles over a low stone wall, with an open field stretching out behind it, a view that could stand for many Civil War sites in Pennsylvania. The Gettysburg battlefield, where the Union and Confederate armies fought from July 1 to 3, 1863, is dotted with guns like this one, placed along ridges and stone fences that defined the fighting. Images like this were often made in the decades after the war, when veterans and tourists came to see the ground and its monuments. The angle of the barrel and the empty field beyond invite the viewer to picture the lines of fire that once crossed that same open ground.
