Stephen, just as reinforcement to the two Toms' conclusions, Dr. Harsh in "Taken at the Flood" also addresses casualties up to 9 am and then the total for the...
Thanks. These statistics make Tom Clemens' case that the pamphlet I was looking at did not include the West Woods. Awesome. Thanks to both Toms. Stephen...
Stephen, Antietam casualties are broken out on the NPS webpage at: http://www.nps.gov/anti/casualty.htm Tom Shay - Cresssona, PA [Non-text portions of this...
It sounds "until 9:00" does not include the West Woods action. That would account for at least some of the disparity. I will look at Carman's chart tonight...
I am trying to get a handle on the number of casualties in the Morning Phase of the battle of Antietam. In the NPS pamphlet called "Casualties of Battle" it...

Excellent. I'll look these up. Thanks. There is a sad irony in the second note - "Brig. Gen. J. K. F. Mansfield is TEMPORARILY assigned to the command of...

Dear Stephen, Could it possibly be due to the fact that Mansfield had "no" combat experience prior to being given command of the 12th Corps? Very respectfully,...
I don't think the Wing structure was dissolved. In fact, Burnside was still a wing commander - Hooker was detached. This left Burnside with only one corps in...
What is considered the best overview of casualties as broken down by geographical area on the Antietam Battlefield? The CWTI special issue has that great...
Somewhere I got the impression that McClellan dissolved the Wing structure of the AOP after the Battle of South Mountain. This would explain how Hooker and...
