A great Gettysburg battlefield stereoview showing the effects of the destruction of Capt. Bigelow's 9th Mass. Light Artillery Battery near the Trostle Farm on July 2, 1863. Published by Taylor & Huntington, Hartford, their testimony, on the verso, reads, in part: "The 9th Massachusetts Battery…were stationed in the yard…some idea of the awful tide of battle…can be inferred from the fact that of the 88 horses of their battery, 65 were killed. This view shows where one of their guns stood…they held the fearful charge in check until our lines could be re-formed to successfully meet and repel the attack…". VG
