Stop #2 on my road trip was to Antietam Civil War battlefield, site of the bloodiest single-day battle in American history on 17 September 1862.
The guns of Antietam:
A lone tree in the field:
Amber waves of grain:
The snake-rail fences along the Bloody Lane:
Burnside’s Bridge over Antietam Creek:
Like Gettsyburg, imagining what went on at the battlefield almost 150 years ago is stunning. Thinking about who might have been walking or who might have been fallen where I was walking was humbling.
