Re: Antitam.
Burnside's forces did not cross the Stone Bridge successfully and roll up the Confederate right flank. Two brigades were decimated trying to cross that bridge by Confederate sharp shooters on the ridge above. The Kanawha Brigade was the third ordered to cross the bridge. Evidently a smart sergeant said "screw the general" turn right. That Brigade waded Antietam Creek 350 meters north of the bridge and then turned the Confederate right flank, until A.P. Hills 8000 arrived from Harper's Ferry. My immigrant German grandfather, Cpl. Heinrich Schuehler was there in the 28th Ohio. CDR L.K. Weber, Jr. USN(Ret.) email
