this reinforcement the Rebels raj
lied and in a furious counter at
tack forced the Union men back
to a position near the bloodstained
bridge. Here as nightfall came the
battle ended both armies ex-

deadly strife and appalling losses.
The combined losses totalled more
than 24,O0O of wounded and dead.
All through the night George

man flesh and blood could endure.
The elosely-packed mass could not
reply with its own fire; it reeled,
halted, stood still a moment, men
falling and dying The desperate
charge had failed. Crook drew his
men back to the shelter Of the
woods.
Other attempts were made by
other units to cross that bridge.
They too were beaten off. At
length from a third of a mile
downstream were heard massive
discharges Of musketry A whole
division had forded the creek and
were on the Rebel side of it. The
Union artillery quickened its fire.
Now we saw Colonel Crook with
his brigade fording the stream a
little way above the bridge. Near
US the head of another big col
umn issued from the woods and
made for the bridge This time the
charges got over and effected
Judgements. The division that had
crossed at the lower ford fought
its way to higher ground on the
flank of the Confederate line. All
the men in blue now got combined
into a battle line that slowly drove
the stubbornly resisting Rebs to-
ward the village. Supporting
troops crossed the bridge unop-
posed.

burg to perform one of his spec
tacular exploits. On Sept. 14th we
heard a loud cannonade to the
eastward. By this time Jackson
was three days march away from
that area. The artillery discharges
were from the fighting at three
gaps through South Mountain. Ear
ly in the morning of September
18th we heard the distance-muf-
| fled roars of cannon away off to
the southwark. This, as we later
learned, was the bombardment of
Harper's Ferry by Jackson. At the
time all these things were mystify-
ing.
Next day with a friend, George
Sterling, l started for Sharpsburg
about six miles south of us to see
what was transpiring. For several
weeks George and had been plan
ming to enlist in the Union cavalry.
We were good riders and had a
preference for that arm of the
service. We were not interested in
the contention over slavery, but
firmly believed in the imperative
necessity of preserving the Union.
For this we were ready and will
ing to fight.
When we had walked to within
few miles of Sharpsburg we saw
some mounted men in the road
and soon discerned they were a
Rebel cavalry outpost. We didn't
fear bodily harm, but those John
ny Rebs might force us at gun
point to work, carrying water for
horses or the like. We left the
road and struck off toward the
east, keeping in the woods where
ever possible and making for
high hill we knew of just cast of
Sharpsburg. While making this
wide detour we became aware that
we were circling around the rear
of q mighty blue-clad armed host.
From the hill top we had piano.
ramic view of the area, a well cult
waited countryside of prosperous
farms and orchards, with patches
of woodland intcrspersed. At the
foot Of the hill Antietam Greek
ran north to south. On its west
side the Confederate army was
drawn up, girding its loins for the
death grapple. Facing it on the
east side was a vast Union force,
each army deployed along about
four mile front, and until next
day keeping respectful distances.
The Union army appeared to be
about double the strength of the
Rebels, and at this we eXulted.
The Rebels were about to fight
with their backs to the Potomac
River, one bend of which we could
see in the far distance. If defeated

the ridge across the little stream
erupted into continuing bursts of
gun flashes and powder smoke.
Within seconds the Rebel batteries
began firing. The skirmishers be-
hind the stone wall kept up a rap
id fire at the Rebels on the bluff
while the Union artillery let go
with everything in the effort to
cover the brigade's charge. The air
was filled with a tumult of sound,
the thundcrous roar of cannon, the
whine Of bullets, the bursting of
shells and rattle Of musketry, and
the shouts of battle-furious hosts
Clouds of dust stirred up by the
feet of marching men pervaded
