The View From Little Round Top 1

 
  Even if you miss this sign you'll know that you're on top of Little Round Top because there are cars and buses parked everywhere! This is one of the most popular spots on the Gettysburg battlefield as you might imagine.

The majestic monument to the 91st PA Infantry atop Little Round Top. Devil's Den is in the background on the left of the monument.

  View of Devil's Den from Little Round Top. The monument to the 16th Michigan Infantry can been seen on the left. The South Mountains are on the horizon. They're often covered in a haze. It's always a treat to see them this clearly.
  Monument to Patrick Henry O'Rorke. In an effort to defend the strategic Little Round Top O'Rorke led his 500 men in a charge over the crest of the hill and was killed after sustaining a bullet wound in the neck. He was 27 years old.

O'Rorke's monument is one of the easiest to spot on the Battlefield despite its position atop Little Round Top. If you'll enlarge this photo you'll see that he has a conspicuously shiny nose! I don't know who first rubbed his nose for good luck. However, it seems that no one thereafter could resist doing so. It remains perpetually shined!

  One of the most elaborate and expensive monuments at Gettysburg is this monument to the 44th NY Infantry. You can't miss it. It's the castle sitting on top of Little Round Top.
