A broken split-rail fence follows the edge of a creek, with a line of trees rising behind it. The stream may be Willoughby Run, which crosses the fields west of Gettysburg where fighting began on the morning of July 1, 1863. Rail fences like this one were common across the farmland there, and troups on both sides pulled them apart to build barricades and cover. Scenes of ordinary field edges such as this one help viewers see how the battle unfolded across open country rather than only in the town.
