Nice work - For the sake of accuracy, Rebs never made it to Round Top, this pic was taken at Devils Den, within rifle shot.
I was going to Mention that the Confederate was at Devils Dean not Little Round top.
There is an interesting story about that photo, the guy that took it, moved the body and Rifled Musket to that stone wall between the rocks, as several other photos he took show the same body and rifle in other photos

Yeah, I have read that the shot was posed - Placement of body and weapon looked too perfect, and it was. Probably not all that unusual of a practice, that particular placement of rocks is impressive, among a huge jumble of boulders. Have been to Gettysburg quite a few times and the fact that the lay of the land is largely intact and there are many identifiable spots from contemporary photos such as this makes it quite an interesting visit if you get prepped before you go.
Very cool thread!......
