The soldiers constructing breastworks on Little Round Top incorporated existing rocks and boulders into their works whenever possible. Here on the south summit of LRT is an example shown in the works built by the 44th NY. The Gardner photograph was taken just days after being occupied by the soldiers who left behind wooden stakes empty ammo boxes, and paper from torn cartriges. I recorded the now version two years ago. Just above this position on the south side of the 44th NY Castle is a wayside that includes this photograph which I will include with the post.
