In one of the most famous photojournalistic manipulations, a photographer took a series of pictures he made of 18-year-old Pvt. Andrew Hoge of the 4th Virginia Infantry in Gettysburg. The photograph captioned, "Home of a Rebel Sharpshooter," in Gardner's book, Gardner's Photographic Sketch Book of the War, shows the dead sniper lying on his back, his face turned toward the camera, and his rifle propped up against one of the rocks. The image would have remained a striking photographic document if it were not for another picture that shows the same soldier in a different location. This photograph is a closer view of the young man still lying on his back, but his face is turned away from the camera and his rifle lies on the ground by his side. Apparently, the frustration with using slow films and lenses that made it impossible to photograph action during the battle induced the phtographer to create his own dramatic picture. In order to create the picture, he and his assistant dragged the dead body of Pvt. Hoge from the field where he fell over to the hole. Apparently, either this unfortunate soul or maybe another fallen soldier resented this. Many have reported difficulty obtaining a photograph in this area. I can't say, every photo I have taken here has turned out fine. (See Above!) The only anomolous photo I have from the Devil's Den is of the area between the rocks, quite a bit below the sniper's hole.
