History & local legend
Little Round Top is the rocky hill on the Gettysburg battlefield where Union reinforcements defended a threatened position on July 2, 1863. Brigadier General Gouverneur K. Warren recognized the danger and alerted other officers; his statue now overlooks the battlefield from the hill.
Later visitors have described encounters that seem to place soldiers back in that landscape. Accounts collected by HISTORY include uniformed figures that disappear and the sound of musket fire without visible firing nearby.
