Additional Details:
Here is shown one of the steel observation towers of which the Commission in charge of Gettysburg National Park have erected five at important parts of the field. The virile bronze figure on the monument in the foreground is a memorial to Gen. Greene. He was in command of a brigade of NY troops and when by the withdrawal of the larger part of the 12th Corps on the night of the 2d, he was left to guard the long line of intrenchments, his skillful and obstinate defense prevented a vastly superior force from breaking his line, and contributed largely to the general result of the battle. The position of Knap's Pa Battery is on right
