ANTIETAM: Joseph Poffenberger farm, where Union army slept
BATTLEFIELD BACKSTORY: Thousands of Union soldiers slept uneasily in the fields on Joseph Poffenberger's farm on Sept. 16, 1862, the night before the Battle of Antietam.

Miller. As they emerged from the strip of woods, they were blasted by Rebel batteries across the Hagerstown Pike, on Nicodemus Heights.
