This picture is from the battle of Gettysburg. It's a confederate sharpshooter in Devils Den. Devils Den is many rocks piled on top of each other in different formations. No one really knows how they were formed. On July 2nd the 2nd day of Gettysburg Battles the confederate and union army both fought here, not really a good place for ither side because there were so many rocks. When I look at this picture I think it's sad because you wonder what kind of life this guy left behind, did he have someone waiting back home. Did he really believe in what he was fighting for, if so why did he beleive in it so much he was willing to give his life?
