The Battle Of Antietam 1862

Sept.19, 1862, Massive Union and Confederate forces clashed near Sharpsburg, Maryland. It was the bloodiest single-day battle in American history, with nearly 23,000 casualties on both sides.
(This was taken at a U.S. Civil War reenactment of The Battle of Antietam, and shot in sepia.))
