Devils D......Little roun....Hmm.....

Culps Hill? No idea.

4th Maine? Devils den. My guess

Looks like the base of the 4th Maine to me. Devil's Den.

Yes looks very much like the 4th Maine....But I wouldn't bet the farm...

Gettysburg, somewhere amid some more rocks!

4th Maine monument, see photo in today's post by @Gettysburg Greg about the the 4th Maine monument. Looks like this photograph was taken a few paces to the right of where the photo of Greg was taken.

Exactly. Pam, is this a trick question since Greg just posted a thread on this a few days ago?

Although this is a little late, perhaps someone would like to see the original 4th ME Monument. It's carved into the west side of a boulder about a rod or two NE of the 4th ME

obelisk.

This was considered a monument? The veterans of the 4th Maine must have been really hard up for cash!

I have never seen documentation, but the guides I have spoken with hypothesize that some 4th ME veterans visiting the field before there was a monument wanted to memorialize the place where they fought. The sun was just right the day I got this picture, so that you can even make out the Third Corps Badge. It is my opinion (and it's only an opinion) that without the fight by the 4th ME, Little Round
Top may have been overrun, notwithstanding the efforts of Vincent's Brigade.
