Unlike the many Gettysburg views on this board that focus on individual monuments or fence lines, this panoramic picture takes in the wide, rolling ground itself, with a monument standing somewhere in the open fields. The image dates to 1909, more than forty years after the battle of July 1863, when the Gettysburg field was being shaped into a national memorial. Veterans had begun returning to the town for reunions, and states and regiments were funding markers that identified where their men had fought. Day 2, July 2, was the day of the fierce fighting at Little Round Top, the Wheatfield, and the Peach Orchard, so the landscape shown here holds some of the battle's most contested ground.
