Looking for old Culp's Hill "loop" images

[demoderbydrvr]

Hi all,

I know that I have seen an interesting "hairpin" turn photograph on Culp's Hill that no longer exists (where the current loop road and Observation tower is located)

Anyone have images of that previous road near the 66th Ohio and 60th NY monuments?

Thanks!

I love Culp's Hill the most!

Is one of these what you are looking for? They are from the Annual Reports of the Gettysburg National Military Parks Commission, 1893-1904. I happened to visit Culp's Hill yesterday and ended up buying a Culp's Hill book at the Visitors Center that has these photos in them. Using the references in the book I was able to locate the photos online.

Beautiful! That top one was the one I have been looking for, bizarrely my internet searches weren't bringing them up

Also, what's the book you bought? Was it the John M Archer book?

Yep. Culp's Hill at Gettysburg: The Mountain Trembled by John M. Archer
