Antietam

The same day we went to Harper's Ferry we drove to nearby Antietam Battlefield, just as the sun was going down. We did the driving tour which stops at key points around the battlefield that saw the bloodiest day of fighting in all of American history (23,000 dead in one day).








"Bloody Lane"- the sunken road where over 5,000 soldiers died in fierce fighting- and in only a few short hours.
