Caption: Map on the Billboard
Additional Description: On the billboard side of the kiosk is this map of the park. The map has a quote:
"As column after column advanced, only to meet the same disastrous repulse, the sight became one of the most interesting imaginable. The havoc made by the rapidly bursting shells from guns arranged so as to sweep any position far and near, and in any direction, was fearful to behold.... The safety of our army - the life of the Union - was felt to be at stake." - Fitz John Porter, Brigadier General, USA.
