Slaughter Pen is the name soldiers gave to the rocky ground at the foot of Little Round Top, near Plum Run, on the southern end of the Gettysburg battlefield. The fighting there on July 2, 1863, was among the bloodiest of the battle, as Union and Confederate lines clashed among boulders and tangled ground. The printed page presents the place as a site of memory, one that visitors and veterans came to see after the war. Its title alone shows how the name had come to stand for the terrible cost of that afternoon.
