This view shows the wheatfield on the second day of the battle, July 2, 1863, where some of the fiercest fighting of the three-day engagement took place. Men from both armies fell in the grain and the rocky ground around it, and the bodies were still on the field when photographers arrived in the days after the fighting ended. Photographs like this one, taken by teams working for Alexander Gardner and others, were among the first to show dead soldiers in their actual battle settings rather than in staged or distant views. Look closely at how the bodies are scattered across the open ground to see the scale of the losses.
