Jun 27, 2008 - The Bloodiest One Day Battle of the Civil War

After making a short side trip back to West Virginia to get another ABC picture, we spent the day exploring Antietam National Battlefield in Maryland to learn about the horrible battle there on September 17, 1862. ... Fred chose a delightful route to get to the park, traveling on some small country roads from Pennsylvania that took us through a small covered bridge and for awhile into both Catoctin Mountain Park, run by the national park service, and Maryland’s Cunningham Falls State Park; both were so pretty with forested areas, more rocky streams, and fishermen fishing at catch and release locations.After making a short side trip back to West Virginia to get another ABC picture, we spent the day exploring Antietam National Battlefield in Maryland to learn about the horrible battle there on September 17, 1862. ...
