View from Little Round Top with a statue of Warren looking towards Wheatfield and Peach Orchard, Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, circa 1901-1907. Caption reads: "FROM LITTLE ROUND TOP. Looking toward the Wheatfield and the Peach Orchard the scene embraces the most sanguinary parts of the field of battle. The cleared space before the thick woods, marked by monuments, is the Wheatfield. It was swept across six times by the contending forces until one might walk across it on the bodies of the slain. Beyond is the Peach Orchard, where Union batteries fired shells without fuse at thirty paces. The immediate foreground is "The Valley of Death." " Postmark date: July 1, 1908; Postcard number: 4736; Message included. Message reads: "Thanks for nice and interesting card come again. I have been over this battlefield and it is a very interesting place. The statue on this card is of Gen. Warren."
