Some rocks are important in our nation's history. These rocks are referred to as the Devil's Den. Confederate soldiers passed through these rocks, attempting to take the hill in the background, Little Round Top, from Union forces. The Confederates were unsuccesful and were slaughtered in the small field on the right, referred to as the Slaughter Pen. This was a critical phase of the battle in Gettysburg, preventing the Confederates from gaining control of the high ground at Little Round Top.
