Nobody saw much from Little Round Top then, either.

You were there?

One difference between Gettysburg and many other battlefields is that there is a lot of terrain at Gettysburg and not a lot of acreage, much of it cleared and fenced off for farms. Anybody that got up high enough to see anything through the smoke and confusion got picked off. The battle at the base of Little Round Top was intense, and blind since it was a cornfield and nobody could see anything.
