While the stereocard is titled "Union Dead at Gettysburg," it actually depicts two rows of dead Confederate soldiers
gathered for burial at the southwestern edge of the Rose Woods in Gettysburg, July 5, 1863. (Library of Congress)
From caption on verso: This group of dead was in “the wheat-field.” The burial details found many such groups on that terrible field. The work of burying the thousands of dead was a Herculean task in itself. The hot July sun made it imperative that the dead should be placed underground as soon as possible. In some cases a little mound of earth was heaped over the bodies as thy lay, and after the first rain storm the hands and feet of the dead could be seen sticking out from their covering of earth.
