Little Round Top

High on Little Round Top, Union soldiers picked off brave Confederate soldiers as a last desperate charge was made to capture the hill. "Pickette's Charge" gave the North a decisive win at Gettysburg and was the beginning of the end for the "South" and the Civil War.

Today, the government leases most of the battlefield to farmers who grow their crops amongst the 2000 memorial monuments. Trees are being removed and a peach orchard cultivated on the battlefield to make it more like it had been in 1863 when it became a grave yard for over 50,000 men plus their horses.
