Caption: View from Big Round Top
Additional Description: Looking down hill from the 118th Pennsylvania position. The pavement of South Confederate Avenue is seen running left to right through the trees. The Federal occupation of Big Round Top on the evening of July 2 effectively prevented any renewed Confederate offensive in this sector of the battlefield. In front of the 118th Pennsylvania, of Tilton's Brigade, were Confederates of Robertson's and Laws' Brigades. While both sides skirmished heavily, neither mounted any major maneuvers here on July 3. In the early evening, the Confederates withdrew back to Seminary Ridge.
