One of two Alexander Gardner images that shows both Union AND Confederate dead on Seminary Ridge. The view is southwest toward McPherson Ridge, which at the time of the battle featured three separate peaks between the Fairfield Road and the Chambersburg Pike—quite unlike the graded, flat surface we see today. Gardner's crew had already taken two images when the Federal burial crew arrived and began digging near the foreground corpse's head. They stopped and posed for the final photo. (LOC)

The same five Union dead photographed looking north by northwest. Fourteen of Alfred Scales's North Carolinians lie in the background. They will be buried in a trench near the horseman who is probably on the Chambersburg Pike. The Federals will be buried together where they lay. (LOC)

Which book is that? If you're referring to Al Gardner's Photographic Sketchbook I have a copy of that.

Also, as noted by W. A. Frassanito, shoes missing from Union dead indicates this portion of the field was once behind Confederate lines.
