What a difference a few days makes....bridge on the Potamac River, Harper's Ferry would be to the left.
Kat's parked in front of the "CornField". This cornfield was approx. 8 feet tall on the morning of the battle, and about 14 in. after. A Union veteran recalled, "[The cornfield] was so full of bodies that a man could have walked through it without stepping on the ground."

Tower at the "Sunken Road - Bloody Lane". Some of the day's most brutal combat occurred during the late morning along a sunken road held by the Confederates. For two and one half hours Union troops threw themselves at the entrenched Confederates finally dislodging them. The murderous fire from both sides left the battlefield strewn with corpses giving the road the name "Bloody Lane."

Burnside's Bridge. Crossing over Antietam Creek, the bridge played a key role in the September 1862 Battle of Antietam during the American Civil War when a small number of Confederate soldiers from Georgia (...probably some of those Clark boys) for several hours held off repeated attempts by elements of the Union Army to take the bridge by force. Finally, the Federals seized it, but not before the attack had been delayed for several hours beyond what had been expected by Maj. Gen. Ambrose Burnside.
