BATTLEFIELD BACKSTORY: I got lucky with this image of the Miller cornfield and re-planted East Woods, timing it just as the sun broke through the fog above the woodlot. What an amazing scene it must have been here the morning of the battle on Sept. 17, 1862, after the Union I Corps marched out of the North Woods out of view to the left. "The number of regimental standards floating in the morning air indicated the immense numbers of the advancing enemy," Private Isaac G. Bradwell of the 31st Georgia recalled about that morning. "It was a wonderful sight." (Click on image to enlarge and click here for all posts on this blog.)
