Confederate Dead near Plum Run in the Slaughter Pen Then & Now

Quick Facts

Location:

This photograph was taken near Sickles Avenue.

This photograph depicts two dead Confederate soldiers in the Slaughter Pen. Years of weather and traffic have shifted some of the rocks in this area, but enough has remained unchanged that the location can be easily determined. The terms “Slaughter Pen” and “Devil’s Den” were often used interchangeably following the battle, making some photographs difficult to place based on title alone.
