Triangular Field
The Triangular Field is found on the southwest side of Devil's Den. In this field Texas and Georgian
soldiers had to come up this field to take the Devil's Den. Many soldiers lost their lives here because
the Union had the high ground and the Confederates were open targets coming up the field. Many
stories are told of camera equipment that fails to work properly due to a spirit that haunts the field. It
is said that this spirit is of a Confederate soldier who died in the field on July 2nd, 1863. Upon taking
photos of post-battle casualties, famed photographer Matthew Brady felt that moving this boy's body
to Devil's Den would make for a better photo. The spirit obviously was displeased and henceforth it
makes trouble for those who try to photograph the field. At no time did our camera equipment fail.
This picture was taken on the other side of the
woods from the triangular field. It looks as if an
apparition is leaning against the white birch tree
on the right.
Here is an enlargement of the area.
