Description
An Napoleon canon sits on a ridge above the Bushman Farm, which sits below the Round Tops in the background. I am sure that this canon was used by the Confederate Army to attack the Round Tops in the background which were defended by Union artillery. Many of these family farms and barns were turned into temporary field hospitals to treat the many wounded soldiers. While only one civilian was killed in the battle of Gettysburg, many of these families had their homes destroyed, livestock killed and crops ruined.
