Devils Den, Gettysburg National Military Park PA
It stood in its still magnificence, with its broad limbs hanging over the battlefield cannons known as the Devil's Den during the Civil War. It was presented as quiet, siren, and beautiful from a time that was so bloody and destructive, with so many lives sacrificed by misguided principles, showing a landscape soiled with so much blood and death. It set our country back many generations. This day was crisp, with lightly scattered clouds moving in the blue sky. The rocks surrounded and laid on top of this place called Devil's Den. The signs of battle showed themselves on the vast boulder site with scares from chips, creaks, fissures, and fractures most likely caused by the continuous ten-pound cannonballs hurled from above and in front named Little Big Top.
