Of all the photographs taken by Mathew Brady on Little Round Top, this is my favorite because it shows so many areas where the battle had been fought just two weeks before. Brady placed his camera near where Hazlett's Battery Marker sits today looking out across the Valley of Death to Houck's Ridge and the Rose Woods. Plum Run can be seen meandering through the valley. The tree line in the rear is Seminary Ridge where the Confederates stepped off for the July 2nd attack and the rocks of Devil's Den can be seen to the left. Many of the rocks seen along Houck's Ridge can be matched up in my matching now photo. You can easily pick out Brady's often photographed assistant admiring the view at bottom center, but can you find Brady who is also featured in this image?
