Photographer: Library of Congress
Caption: General G.K. Warren
at the Signal Station on Little Round Top
Additional Description: From near this point on Little Round Top, General Warren scans the horizon for attacking Confederates of Longstreet's Corps. The sight of a large enemy force about to outflank the Union position struck Warren as “almost appalling.” Behind Warren, Union signalmen use a flag to send coded messages.

Visible in the front of you is a bronze figure of General Warren standing on the boulder where he stood on July 2. The statue was dedicated in 1888.
