bay the enemy. 1t was, so realistic | could
almost hear the rattle of musketry, catch
the peculiar zip-Zip-Zip Of the flying bull
lets, and even sniff the peculiar odor Of
burning gunpowder. Inscribed upon the
painting l found this:
18th Mass. Reg't at Antietam. Pres
ent in line, nine comranies-2G2 officers
and men. Killed, 40; wounded. 1G3: miss
ing 10. Total, 222. Percentage of loss.
S4732. This is the highest percentage Of
loss sustained by any organization, Union
or Confederate, in any one battle of the

laurels as for perverted facts of history: !:
Tor 1t had always been credited to the LIST
MINI. that it was the regiment that lost
the heaviest in any ene engagement in
the civil war.
