| As evident from the sturdy foundation, the modern-day footbridge across Plum Run was originally intended for heavier traffic than pedestrians. One of the earliest battlefield avenues, removed long ago, crossed Plum Run at this point. |

| William Tipton took this photo, of what's often referred to as, the trough rock; it appeared in an 1898 tour-book. It's not known exactly when or why the trough was cut into the rock, although a watering hole for horses seems to be the logical reason. Curious, since the location is very close to Plum Run. (Old photo courtesy Gettysburg National Military Park.) |
| For further reading, we highly recommend the book, "Devil's Den, A History and Guide" by Garry E. Adelman and Timothy H. Smith. |
