A dead Confederate soldier lies in the Devils
A dead Confederate soldier lies in the Devils Den, against a wall of stones, with his rifle, on the Gettysburg battlefield, c. July 4-6, 1863. The photograph was exposed by Timothy OSullivan, and later printed by Alexander Gardner. It is thought that OSullivan moved the body 40 yards to these rocks to create a dramatic, but not a strictly authentic, documentary photo. The soldier is believed to have died during a charge toward Little Round Top
