ANTIETAM: Fog over the Miller cornfield


BATTLEFIELD BACKSTORY: No Civil War battlefield is as haunting, or as mesmerizing, as Antietam on a cool September morning. Alone on this portion of the field, I took this image about dawn as fog hovered hover the landscape. Perhaps this is what it looked like on the morning of Sept. 17, 1862, before the Rebels saw the glint of the bayonets of Union soldiers who marched out of the North Woods and into the rolling cornfield of a farmer named David R. Miller. (Click at upper right to enlarge and click here for all posts on this blog.)
