I actually paved the road through devils den and where your truck is parked a few years ago. I never believed in ghosts till we were paving where the memorial is with the eternal flame. We had to pave several roads at night due to traffic and saw a soldier on a horse jump the road! Right hand on my mother's grave true! And then it was gone. Trust me I would be the first to say "I'd have to see it to believe it" ! We also paved several roads in the battle field even the cemetery and was there almost the whole summer. Very interesting. Alot of lives lost both men and almost as many horses. Amazing place,
Paul Condie I was in Gettysburg 11 years ago just after Halloween and there is something about that whole area . ... yes you can really feel the creepiness... and I do believe you saw that soldier on the horse. I saw something weird but inexplicable... I had been in the park at night with a group of people who were with a ghost hunter... at that point in time they would allow people to be in the park till... I can't remember it was 8 , 9 or 10 at night and then I couldn't wait to just get in my room and stop feeling creeped out. I was sitting on a chair when I noticed a ray... a black Ray... a beam ..a beam of black like a laser Ray or like a long skinny sword came right through the corner of the room from outside and it went all the way through the room and came at me... .... I quickly dodged to the right and it just missed hitting me... I didn't know what the heck I was seeing and then it happened again and was closer and I dove into the bed and just put the covers up around my chin . It felt to me that something dark ,really dark was reaching out for me when I was sitting in that chair . I looked at a map I had of Gettysburg and realized that black Light Beam came from the direction of the battlefield and for some reason I hadn't realized how close the motel actually was to the battlefield... it was almost right behind us . I'll never know what in the world that was that came in my room.
I grew up with the Battlefield in my backyard, would find Mini cannon balls to canteens. Nothing topped the sound of the snare drums through the night though.. Gives me chills thinking about it.
I'll be fulfilling a lifelong dream of visiting Gettysburg. My father instilled in me a strong sense of respect for the past and the events that took place there. I imagine I will become extremely emotional my first time, being I understand wholeheartedly the terrible and bloody consequences that came out of that location. RIP to all lives lost there.
Back in the 1960’s my Dad took us to Gettysburg and we went to Devil’s Den at twilight and if you looked to either side of you--there was NO DOUBT that you would see the soldiers all around you as well as hear the cannons and gun fire. My Dad, who was not even a little impressed when it was pouring rain on one side of the street and completely dry on the other side, could feel the soldiers and the gunfire. THERE IS NO DOUBT THAT THE GHOSTS REMAIN!
Ahhhhhh Gettysbury! Such a beautiful place with such a horrid battle. Mark Nesbitt has a ghost tour business there. I've had a number of conversations with him years ago. Mark was a ranger there for 5 years if I recall and he is also a historian. To verify stories he is a good source to inquire with. He has written a number of books about haunted G- burg. I have had some experience at Devil's Den. And keep in mind that it was a very hot and humid July during the battle. From an old account I'd read years ago, they were pulling bodies out of those nooks and crannies into September,,,,,what was left of them anyway. I believe there are still about 600 soldiers still unaccounted for. Those rocks are truly amazingly beautiful. Thanks WW! DaveyJO
I was there on my school's field trip in the 70's. Even as a kid I could tell the place has a 'heavy' feeling. My wife and I just went back on July 4th. Watching fireworks at Gettysburg is pretty special.
For anyone wondering why the ghost of a hippie would haunt the area, according to historians the way he appears aligns with what a First Texas Confederate soldier would have looked like.
Excellent to point that out. I always wondered about those reports. Even stranger is he ACTUALLY INTERACTS with certain witnesses. I'd LOVE to encounter him someday.
That big tree behind you and on the curve if the road is a WITNESS TREE, it was a young tree durning the battle, the park is full of witness trees, when they cull out trrez or cut up strom damage trees or dead trees they find bullets inside them. There are list of locations where you'll find other witness trees in the park. Museum/ visitors center has a part of a witness tree on display
I remember first seeing Devil's Den when I was about seven or eight. My late father was born in Gettysburg and we used to visit during the summer my relatives who still lived around there. Of all of the spots on the battlefield and for reasons I didn't know, standing on the rocks gave me the willies. I guess the name obviously stuck in my mind; but it seemed to be more. Even at a young age when you really don't realize the pain and loss of the battle I felt out of sorts there.
Went there often when I was a kid. We loved climbing on the rocks and almost giving our mom a heart attack. Didn’t understand the history when I was young but I enjoy the history and significance of what happened there years ago.
The sign reading Devils Den is wrong. Those rocks are NOT the Devils Den. The person who named it referred ONLY to a small spring underneath a few boulders. Not the entire area.
Hi Cliff, Had you taken this trip to Devil's Den about 2 years later, after you did the "unfinished millstone" at Middlecreek feature, you would have recognized the name you found etched into the boulder at Devils Den, time 7;32 of the video. Yes, "J TIPTON", last name same as mine. This same etch was shown in "Gettysburg Secrets 1" at 8;47. A couple of my direct ancestors from both my parents sides fought at Gettysburg. Tiptons fought on both sides with a vast majority of them for the South. One Georgia Unit at this battle had over a dozen Tiptons. Finds like this make it so exciting as I study my family history, where my ancestors were prominent in many historic occurrences.
God bless ya dude. Love your videos. Fellow PA boy myself. Used to live in Hamburg. Recognize alot of the places you film. Keep up the good work on history man of PA.
I was alone there at night in early November , 11 years ago...I never should have gone down there alone. I was parked up on the ridge behind the hill that I think they called Little Round Top. It just wasn't a good idea and as soon as I got there I was really so terrified that I wanted to scream really loudly and run... My Flesh was really feeling like it was crawling.. I had a friend on the phone but he really was not going to be able to do anything for me that's for certain... and yet even though I was trying to get some comfort from him I felt as if I was on the moon... just really far from everyone. To get back to the car I had to walk back down from the Den and then go up the steep hill of Little Round Top. Even after I got in the car I did not really feel safe till I drove away and started passing other cars. But somebody on another video said all these places that have the word devil in their names from the American Indians is usually because people would disappear around those places.
Wow! Thanks for sharing, glad you made it out alright. We have very strong feelings and intuitions and vibes tied to the energy of the earth, universe abd wgat is immediatley around usband its sooo important to.hone in on them as wellas to not go against them if the are telling you to "get the f out of here!"
Love Gettysburg. Been there in 1997 and I have ben hooked since then. There are some videos on Y tube of some Gettysburg ghosts. One of these days, I will return to Gettysburg and roam around history.
The first name you show is astounding! It's partially gone, but I believe it was carved by William H. Tipton, or someone in his party who was taking photos of the area some time after the war. If you look online and search his name you'll find out more. I hope my information helps if nobody else figured it out by now.
I used to go boldering there when I lived in Gettysburg. probably my favorite spot in the national park. I'd always clear out before sunset though. the whole park gets creepier at night.
Hi, We just came home from Gettysburg and I watch your video on the Devils Den. I did find the cave and I did go through it. I video it and had a great time. Ty for the info
I enjoyed your Devil's Den video, I even went online to get even more information about it. Good job!I visited Antietam once and took the tour. Everyone on the tour agreed they suddenly felt a strange sensation(not scary) of sadness and a feeling they were being watched once we entered the battle site. I remembered a re-enactor telling me years ago this was the best place to go to get the feeling of what the war was like and he gave a slight smile when he said it. When our guide was informed of the sensation we all felt, he also gave a slight smile, but just continued on with the lecture. I don't believe in ghost but that was a very strange sensation and it didn't leave until I left the area. On the tour you drive your own vehicle while following the guide to three locations. The tour takes about one and a half hours and about 20 minutes are spent at each location explaining what happened there.Some day you may want to take that tour and film it for your students, as it was very informative and contained some interesting facts you won't find in history books. Unlike Gettysburg there are few monuments on this site and when they can, they buy and bulldoze everything that was not there during the time of the battle.PS. That sensation at Antietam came as a complete surprise, I hope mentioning it does not in some way ruin it for you. I have never forgotten it.
I got a GREAT picture of me at Gettysburg. at like 2am in the winter. There is a whitish streak going right past my face. Not steam from my mouth. Amazing selfie I took. I also got a 'rod' shaped phenomenon in front of me as soon as I set foot on the battlefield at Antidam, late at night just around Thanksgiving time.
I was there late at night by myself in November a few years back. It was 28° and clear. A huge snowstorm was about to move in sndxI didn't want to be trapped there without 4 wheel drive. So I stayed about an hour and left. But what I saw was amazing. Even at night. I will go back and spend more time there this summer. I know exactly where to go and what to look for now. I read all about the trench and the old Dunker church and I was there only briefly. I need to really spend time there to encounter more things. But the picture I got is a KEEPER!
BTW. I didn't feel that way at Antidam or Gettysburg, but I go in with a totally different mindset, since I am prior military, and combat trained and LOVE HISTORY and see it a bit differently from the a stage person. Dying there is a HIGH HONOR for those me. Even with all the pain and suffering and agony etc....they all knew the risks and were prepared to die for their beliefs. My mood in those locations is ALWAYS HUMBLE and APPRECIATIVE, and SOMBER. But sadness, not so much. They died doing what they thought was best. Both sides deserve our utmost respect and admiration regardless of any political beliefs. I feel very connected to those brave men when I go there. I can relate to them and have read so much now on the subject that I feel like I can understand what they were thinking and maybe feeling when they fought there. But the FEAR and hellish haze of battle is something only a combat vet (which I am not) would understand. I can only read about what it must have been like from eyewitness accounts. The generals all kept copies logs and journals. That's our window into how it all went down. Brave brave men fighting close quarters hand to hand combat with swords, bayonets, guns and cannons. Hellish scenes there. Then add the HEAT, sweat, stench of death, hunger,. sounds of horror from the wounded and the primitive surgeries that took place in every nearby farm barn, house, church and school. Horrific first -hand accounts abound. Very well documented war.
Arrowheads or “blunts” that may have been found by earlier settlers in Gettysburg areas could just have indicated they were from hunting deer or other game.
Loving your videos been binge watching. Started with all your haunted and now watching everything. I moved to Quakertown 6 months ago and can't get out to do this stuff so I really enjoy watching. Thanks!!!
I went there once with a girl I was dating ghost hunting it was like one in the morning and we were walking back to the car... as we were going down the stairs I had the flashlight so I was behind her I saw a white mist just walk in front of me and disappear and I was so happy I can’t explain it.
I know volcanic rocks can be magnetic but I don't know if it has to be launched in the air or if it's all magnetic to the comes from the core. But that would be an attraction to any energy.
at dusk on 07/03/2013 my long friend and his 2 sons were visiting devils' den as the last part of our tour that day. There had been re-enactments and activities through the day, but most had cleared out by that time. We were sitting at the rock near the parking where that famous picture of the dead soldier was taken lying face up on a large boulder. I was in back of my friend with his younger son and he was with his boy in front of me. A man dressed in union uniform with NO patches (just blue uniform), no hat and wearing wire rim glasses walks over to us from the left and in between myself and my friend. He looked over at me and my friend's son and says, "Am I really here?" this gets the attention of my friend and his son who look back at the man who he thought was just wondering around being a tourist and tells the man "yeah, you're right there" jokingly. The man walks off to the right toward the parking area where we can see others going to their cars and then he just vanished. My friend and I look at each other as he left and said that was weird! I along with his son immediately walk toward where we last saw the guy and start asking people walking by " did you see where that guy in the blue uniform went?" Everyone we asked said they never saw him walk past them in the parking lot. That left us with uneasy chills and disbelief as we left that night back home. We still talk about it every time we get together. Years earlier we had experienced hearing cannon fire in the late afternoon. No re-enactments were going on at that time. Gettysburg is a special place!
I was there on November 13 2020 with my friends from Augusta Georgia and I took some photos and got two orbs that I did not see in the photo when I took them. Pretty cool.
The dates are not where you were looking they are at the top next to road ....and across the road at the bottom there is the huge elephant shaped rock.
Years ago I made the mistake in early November of going to Devil's Den alone in the dark at night and I was really scared out of my wits I really regretted it because of how I kust wanted to scream .
what is the back story on Devils Den? Gettysburg is said to be very haunted. May be true since I believe cemeteries since I've experienced it myself. This vlog is full of history galore. A bit of background on battles would be good. Thanks for going here, a place I've always wanted to visit to pay my respects.
Vikki Nicholson .. The sharpshooters den which is kinda behind devils den . That has an interesting story . Since the soldiers Body was dragged there and setup for that infamous Pic . He is one of the main haunts in that area
For a better experience, I strongly suggest going out onto the field before sunrise (the park opens upon sunrise) but you'll be more likely to be by yourself in the wheat field, or in the valley.
LittleWolfGirl545 I made the mistake of going to Devil's Den years ago alone at night after dark in early November and I could not believe how scared I was once I got down there near those rocks.. turning my back on Devil's Den and going up the Steep Hill to where I was parked was just as creepy and even after I got in the car and locked it I did not feel safe until I drove away and started passing other cars
The spot where they move the dead solder body was actually up the road. You was close. They actually have it marked with a plaque. It’s called Home of the rebel sharpshooter. There’s also actually only one account where they moved a body for a photo and that’s the one.
interesting history lesson. It could very well be haunted because of all those soldiers lives lost during the war there. We have visited similar like areas, and I felt an uneasy presence while hiking the isolated battle fields. thx. for sharing the video.
Burnin' Daylight Hikers I made the mistake of going out alone at night after dark to Devil's Den in November 11 years ago and that was horrifying... my flesh was crawling the whole time
Makes sense, I grew up about that distance from the mid-Ohio race course and could here them racing on the weekends. Surely you could artillery from that far.
@@timothykeegan5705 yes sad isn't it. In spite of the refuse cans that used to be around the battlefield especially at Devil's Den people would just throw their trash anywhere. The only thing I ever found in the crevices of Devil's Den was a 1905 Indian Head Penny likely dropped by a tourist over the years or may have been swiped from "Penny Rock" where visitors have left pennies as an offering to the memory of the soldiers.
When I visited Devil's Den about 10 years ago my husband, boys and I smelled cherry pipe tobacco. There was only one other family there and no one was smoking.
I feel so sorry for those spirits that they're not crossing over I guess because they die such a horrible death they don't want to believe that they're dead but if they cross over they would feel so much better no more pain or nothing but I guess it's up to God to put them at rest when the time comes but hopefully they'll be at peace soon
Little round top. Try being there around midnight. Hiding from the park rangers patrolling. I heard things, but never saw anything. Very Erie feelings though.
You know if the soldiers who died there fighting for a cause, they would be dead know anyways, fighting for the right thing seems a proper way to conduct ones life, thnks
Pretty sure the confederates never took little round top. I do know little round top was held by a Maine division, and relieved later on. From what I remember Confederates made a few pushes and never took it and at one point the Maine unit was pretty much out of ammo so they ordered a bayonet charge down the hill for a last stand to hold the hill. Watch Gettysburg the movie and you will have a good idea what happened there on little round top.
The picture your referring to were not dead soldo. They were living soldiers planted there to act dead by the photographer Alexander Gardner. Now the real picture from there was the confederate sharp shooter picture. He was in fact dead.however moved from one spot to the spot in the picture.
Here is the story on the reposed soldier you referenced. This was a time when "war journalism" was in its infancy. www.historynet.com/behind-barricade-identity-devils-den-sharpshooter.htm
I actually paved the road through devils den and where your truck is parked a few years ago. I never believed in ghosts till we were paving where the memorial is with the eternal flame.

@@brandons9536 omg
@@brandons9536 there is a video on TH-cam where someone recorded the drums and fife at the battlefield after dark. Very creepy.
Heard the stories of the horses being slaughtered in battle.

Wish it would be a bald head woman from 2007, pops out and says it's Brittany bitch!
Texas hippy coalition.
Yep! The Texas volunteers had very plain clothes and they were not issued uniforms from what I've read by historians.

And the area between little round top and the devil's den was called "The Valley Of Death" and "The Slaughter Pen".
Imagine fighting across those rocks in the middle of a heat wave in July. Than having to fight up the Round Tops later that day.
I took my son for his birthday in 2019. His birthday is July 3. I told him all about the Gettysburg history. He had a great time.

Almost looks like out west with the layout of the rocks and winter. Bleakness.

My birthday trip for many of my young years. Just climbed those rocks most of the day. It was years later I finally did the bus top tour.

I've run into spirits there twice. Don't see them, just feel them.
me and my family have been there so many times and watching this video makes me wanna go back. one time my son was in the elevator and seen a ghost.
This is the best look I have had at Devil's Den.

I live the town over from gettysburg. It's nice during the winter
Loving your videos been binge watching. Started with all your haunted and now watching everything. I moved to Quakertown 6 months ago and can't get out to do this stuff so I really enjoy watching. Thanks!!!
Thanks for watching
I went there once with a girl I was dating ghost hunting it was like one in the morning and we were walking back to the car... as we were going down the stairs I had the flashlight so I was behind her I saw a white mist just walk in front of me and disappear and I was so happy I can’t explain it.
I know volcanic rocks can be magnetic but I don't know if it has to be launched in the air or if it's all magnetic to the comes from the core. But that would be an attraction to any energy.
at dusk on 07/03/2013 my long friend and his 2 sons were visiting devils' den as the last part of our tour that day. There had been re-enactments and activities through the day, but most had cleared out by that time. We were sitting at the rock near the parking where that famous picture of the dead soldier was taken lying face up on a large boulder. I was in back of my friend with his younger son and he was with his boy in front of me.
A man dressed in union uniform with NO patches (just blue uniform), no hat and wearing wire rim glasses walks over to us from the left and in between myself and my friend. He looked over at me and my friend's son and says, "Am I really here?" this gets the attention of my friend and his son who look back at the man who he thought was just wondering around being a tourist and tells the man "yeah, you're right there" jokingly. The man walks off to the right toward the parking area where we can see others going to their cars and then he just vanished. My friend and I look at each other as he left and said that was weird! I along with his son immediately walk toward where we last saw the guy and start asking people walking by " did you see where that guy in the blue uniform went?" Everyone we asked said they never saw him walk past them in the parking lot.
That left us with uneasy chills and disbelief as we left that night back home. We still talk about it every time we get together. Years earlier we had experienced hearing cannon fire in the late afternoon. No re-enactments were going on at that time. Gettysburg is a special place!
Not all who wander are lost, but all those who go looking for ghosts have nothing better to do.
I was there on November 13 2020 with my friends from Augusta Georgia and I took some photos and got two orbs that I did not see in the photo when I took them. Pretty cool.
People laughing, and yelling like as if they’re at the beach? More RESPECT please!
monty Last Should be treated like Arlington.
Agree with you 100%
The best time to visit is daybreak ....before tourist show up .....the sunrise at devils den is awesome
The dates are not where you were looking they are at the top next to road ....and across the road at the bottom there is the huge elephant shaped rock.
Years ago I made the mistake in early November of going to Devil's Den alone in the dark at night and I was really scared out of my wits I really regretted it because of how I kust wanted to scream .
Or at sunset
Awesome video thanks for sharing
I love stuff about the civil war, thanks
Ancient looking giant rocks look set there.
that was exactly where me, my dad, and my sister were around 6 hours ago!
Spirit of the Happy Hippy. Awesome
Yea some of those rocks look cut and stacked must be the Appalachian giants work
what is the back story on Devils Den? Gettysburg is said to be very haunted. May be true since I believe cemeteries since I've experienced it myself. This vlog is full of history galore. A bit of background on battles would be good. Thanks for going here, a place I've always wanted to visit to pay my respects.
Vikki Nicholson .. The sharpshooters den which is kinda behind devils den . That has an interesting story . Since the soldiers Body was dragged there and setup for that infamous Pic . He is one of the main haunts in that area
For a better experience, I strongly suggest going out onto the field before sunrise (the park opens upon sunrise) but you'll be more likely to be by yourself in the wheat field, or in the valley.

I made the mistake of going to Devil's Den years ago alone at night after dark in early November and I could not believe how scared I was once I got down there near those rocks.. turning my back on Devil's Den and going up the Steep Hill to where I was parked was just as creepy and even after I got in the car and locked it I did not feel safe until I drove away and started passing other cars
The spot where they move the dead solder body was actually up the road. You was close. They actually have it marked with a plaque. It’s called Home of the rebel sharpshooter. There’s also actually only one account where they moved a body for a photo and that’s the one.
Devils den change hands several times during the battle
interesting history lesson. It could very well be haunted because of all those soldiers lives lost during the war there. We have visited similar like areas, and I felt an uneasy presence while hiking the isolated battle fields. thx. for sharing the video.

I made the mistake of going out alone at night after dark to Devil's Den in November 11 years ago and that was horrifying... my flesh was crawling the whole time
I had read that the sound of the battle could be heard 20 miles off Gettysburg.
Makes sense, I grew up about that distance from the mid-Ohio race course and could here them racing on the weekends. Surely you could artillery from that far.
@@fsca72
😮😮Wow!!!!.
I wonder if there was anything in that little crevice underneath the rocks to your left at around 6:31?
Not that crevice but there are many little caverns in the rocks
Perhaps, I plan on going back this spring or summer
@@timothykeegan5705 yes sad isn't it.
In spite of the refuse cans that used to be around the battlefield especially at Devil's Den people would just throw their trash anywhere.
The only thing I ever found in the crevices of Devil's Den was a 1905 Indian Head Penny likely dropped by a tourist over the years or may have been swiped from "Penny Rock" where visitors have left pennies as an offering to the memory of the soldiers.
.."they've seen a woman from the silver wear " lol
When I visited Devil's Den about 10 years ago my husband, boys and I smelled cherry pipe tobacco. There was only one other family there and no one was smoking.
I feel so sorry for those spirits that they're not crossing over I guess because they die such a horrible death they don't want to believe that they're dead but if they cross over they would feel so much better no more pain or nothing but I guess it's up to God to put them at rest when the time comes but hopefully they'll be at peace soon
I was just there in July, was lucky enough to get a map of the battlefield from the cabin we stayed at. Trust me it helps!!
Chris Foulk walk the battlefield without a map . After that you will always know where everything is
I’m sure most of the marks on the rocks are from bullet rounds !?
Children should be taught to be respectful there because of all the death.
I'd love to take a metal detector through there
I had two Confederate ancestors who were in the 20th Georgia Infantry Regiment part of Bennings brigade fought there
Thanks for sharing your trip with us. I only have one question. What ever happened to Amy?
Good question.....she married some army dude, but we are friends on FB
Glenn Koons his Dahmer like appearance leads me to believe he ate her.
If you think he looks like Dahmer than you really need to have your eyes checked
Thks. I love the civil war stuff. 🐎
Thanks, man. Good video!
Little round top is to the left big round top is the wooded area
A man asking directions. My wife would be flabbergasted. 2:50.
I heard if you take a rock from here you get cursed, what if you take a shit😂
Little round top. Try being there around midnight. Hiding from the park rangers patrolling. I heard things, but never saw anything. Very Erie feelings though.
Been there in 8 th grade and went little round top and wearing jeans and belt and felt like someone grabbed my belt and pulled me down
My brother and dad went there and saw a civil war troop but disappeared in the fog
nice video....what a pretty place...
Just heard DD is reopened. Was closed for erosion
reminds me of the city of rocks in New Mexico
Great Video!
I thought that a soldier was killed at Devil's Den when he was ambushed by enemy troops during the civil war?
Big Money's Life yes that is true
Many men died there
This person must be talking about the Sharpshooter . And he was dragged to that den and setup to take that photo
I’ve been to Gettysburg plenty of times ever since I was 5 Devils Den is the spot I always visit in fact I got the Devils Den tattooed on me
@Sammy Vlogs What Lies Over there in The Devil's den Area!!?
#VeryMysterious.
#VeryIntresting.
#ImVeryCurious.
You know if the soldiers who died there fighting for a cause, they would be dead know anyways, fighting for the right thing seems a proper way to conduct ones life, thnks
I love this spot!
If those rocks could talk....
What is the origin of the rocks? They look out of place. Or are there more places like that around? ( ok,,,you just answered it while I typed :D )
Were the huge rocks and boulders placed there by glaciers maybe ????
@@johnwhitten4694 That's what I read somewhere. They are a terminal moraine. That's as far as the glacier got.
Pretty sure the confederates never took little round top. I do know little round top was held by a Maine division, and relieved later on. From what I remember Confederates made a few pushes and never took it and at one point the Maine unit was pretty much out of ammo so they ordered a bayonet charge down the hill for a last stand to hold the hill. Watch Gettysburg the movie and you will have a good idea what happened there on little round top.
Nice place. Darn no snake 😕
I’ve been here it’s awesome and sketchy
Those people laughing and screaming were Very Annoying..
My family has a plaque hurts battery on seminary hill captain William .B. Hurt he was my cousin I went there a couple of days ago 10-12 July 2019
Bravo.
'ees warsh ofgh hoggg'
What does that ghost say at 2:01?
It was Native American land
GIANT INTO THE ROCK
The picture your referring to were not dead soldo. They were living soldiers planted there to act dead by the photographer Alexander Gardner. Now the real picture from there was the confederate sharp shooter picture. He was in fact dead.however moved from one spot to the spot in the picture.
Ty. Sacredness
No Crow Indians they're in Wyoming, through Montana and into North Dakota
Maybe Delaware Indians
I'm from Gettysburg
Here is the story on the reposed soldier you referenced. This was a time when "war journalism" was in its infancy. www.historynet.com/behind-barricade-identity-devils-den-sharpshooter.htm
