Photographer: Craig Swain
Taken: July 24, 2008
Caption: South-West Side of Little Round Top
Additional Description: Looking from the 14th / 44th New York Monument at the south crest of Little Round Top. In the distance where Warren Avenue intersects Sickles Avenue is the Devil's Den. Vincent's Brigade arrived on this side of Little Round Top just as elements of Law's and Robertson's Confederate Brigades began ascending the slopes here. Some of the most difficult fighting occurred in this open area. The stone walls are breastworks erected by the Federals during and after the fighting. The 16th Michigan Infantry monument along the breastworks indicates a position held after the repulse of the Confederate attack. The distance to the Devil's Den from this point is just over 300 yards.
