Most pictures from Gettysburg show the battlefield itself, but this one moves indoors to a family parlor, where a wounded soldier is tended by the household. In the days after the fighting ended on July 3, 1863, the town's homes, churches and public buildings were turned into makeshift hospitals, and residents who had lived through the battle found themselves nursing strangers. Casualties across the three days numbered in the tens of thousands, so the care of the wounded spilled into ordinary rooms like this one. The crowded domestic setting shows the strain the battle placed on Gettysburg's families.
