Little Round Top rises south of the Gettysburg battlefield, and its boulder-strewn slopes shaped the fighting on the second day, July 2, 1863. This view shows the rocky hillside with scattered trees, the kind of broken ground that made the position so hard to hold and so hard to assault. Union soldiers from Joshua Chamberlain's 20th Maine and other units fought over these rocks in the late afternoon, and the terrain gave defenders cover while leaving attackers exposed. Pictures like this one help modern visitors see the ground as the men on both sides once saw it.
