Dear Larry, Thanks for the info; the Register application for the Sharpsburg village is also very interesting. I shall have to review that at more length. Any...
Steve, Would that not also be the same as the dam for the old Antietam Iron Works? Yr. Obt. Svt. G E "Gerry" Mayers To Be A Virginian, either by birth,...
GM A quick search shows a picture of the resort on page 21 of "Images of America, Washington County," by Rubin, ISBN 978-0738514185. You may see it on Amazon...
Thanks! Yr. Obt. Svt. G E "Gerry" Mayers To Be A Virginian, either by birth, marriage, adoption, or even on one's mother's side, is an introduction to any...
Steve, I did read somewhere about the Creek having a coffer dam at one point which was subsequently taken out. Do not recall if it was before the battle or...
The dam and original bridge works are still visible today. There were large Adena Hopewell camps here as well as large civil war camps above iron works. That...
Ian, That's fascinating. I'll have to find out more about those Washington Arsenal bullets. That's great stuff. I was at the dam site the other day and saw the...
There are photos of Belinda Springs in the Washington County Historical Society photo files. About 6....some ruins..some not. Hope this helps. Steve...
All, In case you're not aware, Lee and Barbara Barron in their booklet "The History of Sharpsburg Maryland" addressed Belinda Springs starting on page 49 and...
Stephen.. I took another look at that photographer's wagon stereoview (Recher or Freaner...I forget). Anyway...I want to back track on what I said. Looking...
Steve, Very interesting. That would make more sense. Phreaner took a few early photos of the battlefield (1867) but not enough to justify him having a...
Stephen and Larry... The book is an Arcadia photo-history. So, don't expect deep analysis of the philosophical causes of the great battle of Hagerstown. But,...

Does anyone have Steve Stotlmeyer's email address and/or phone? Thanks! Yr. Obt. Svt. G E "Gerry" Mayers To Be A Virginian, either by birth, marriage,...
It is indeed scarce Larry, and my copy is getting tattered. Ted A has copies in his place, and the next time we get together you can look at mine. Dr. Thomas...
Fellow Historians: While not specifically on Antietam, noted historian Ed Bearss will present a program on the 9th Corps' first serious victory, The Battle of...
I am looking for info on these guys. Bates has two fascinating pages on the Militia of 1862 but nothing specific on this regiment. I am researching a guy from...
Thanks. Yeah, this is from Bates, which I have. Appreciate it, though. The Western MD Room was open last week when I stopped by. I'm hoping they have not...
Today I found two unrelated references to a small monument at Locust Spring Hospital, otherwise known as Geeting or Crystal Spring Hospital. This would have...
The 1961 Dowdey-Manarin edition of "The Wartime Papers of R.E. Lee," prints (p. 296) a message #290 from Gen. Lee to Pres. Davis indicated as a telegram,...
Fascinating, have not heard of this before. John Schildt may know something, or Bill Rees the current owner. I was out there not long ago and went over the...
Tom, That is great. I knew you would have the inside track. I did not see anything about it in John's hospital book, but maybe he has something in his head...
