Photographic Incidents of the War. No. 274. War effect of a shell on a Confederate soldier at battle of Gettysburg. [Gardner Co. stereo card]
Photographic War History. The War For The Union. 1861-1865. No. 274. The Horrors of War. A Union soldier killed by a shell at Gettysburg, July 3, 1863. His arm was torn off, and can be seen on the ground near his musket, and entirely separated from his body. The shell also completely disemboweled the poor fellow, and killed him so quick that he never knew what struck him. Think of a battlefield covering nearly twenty-five square miles, and covered with thousands of dead, many of them mangled even worse than this one and you can have a faint idea of Gettysburg in the early days of July, 1863.
