Gettysburg's battlefield monuments stand along a dirt road in this 1909 panoramic view, a scene that shows how quickly the park was being filled with memorials only a few decades after the fighting. The photograph belongs to the first day of the battle, July 1, 1863, when Union and Confederate forces collided in and around the town and set off the three-day engagement. By 1909, veterans' organizations and state governments were erecting monuments to mark the positions of their regiments, and the unpaved roads of the field were still the main way visitors moved from one site to the next. The wide format lets the viewer take in the spacing and scale of the markers across the landscape.
