In my opinion, one of the most under-appreciated pieces of terrain at Antietam is The Rock Ledge. It runs along the west side of (and parallel to) the ...
Tom, The Rock Ledge is conspicuous in the Antietam documentary film shown at the visitors center. As your photos show, this battlefield feature remains...

Yeah -- I'm buzzin' a bit. The Carter Center thing was unbelievable. I'll be posting a photo on the site pretty soon. But the highlight was that two of my...

You've come to the right site -- There are some wonderful historians in the room. I did some pretty serious research and don't recall any mention of Hooker...

I was actually surprised on my first trip to Antietam that there was a charge. I was use to Gettysburg which is free of course. Not a big deal. I'd pay $20 to...
