Excerpt from The Battle of Gettysburg From the World Disarmed From this hill to the south, for a mile and a half, runs a ridge - Cemetery Ridge, sloping gradually to the west and the south. Near the western base of Cemetery Hill, a grove - Zeigler's. Nine hundred yards to the south, on Cemetery Ridge - a clump of trees. About this clump of trees the ridge is smooth and open. Three-quarters of a mile away it terminates in a high, rocky, bowlder-covered hill - Little Round Top. Further to the west and south, but closely connected, is Big Round Top.
