Pretty famous photo although not as well known as the uncomfortable set featuring only Lincoln and McClellan- one with Pinkerton thrown in almost for comic relief. If anyone looked like the criminal he was supposed to be catching.... I'd pick Pinkerton out of a line-up in 2015. I think I have some pegged?
3 Union generals gave their lives to the horrific battle at Antietam, Maj. Gen. Joseph K. F. Mansfield led his men through the East Woods towards the Cornfield in support of I Corps already in action. Wounded in the chest he died the next day.
Maj. Gen. Israel B. Richardson commanded a division in the II Corps that attacked the Sunken Road. Wounded by artillery while trying to bring up more guns, MGen Richardson died on November 3, 1862.
Brig. Gen. Isaac P. Rodman led his men in the final assault, only to be turned back by the timely arrival of A.P. Hill and his men. Mortally wounded, this Quaker General would die on September 30, 1862.
Pretty sure these men are coincidently next to each other, beginning Richardson 3rd from left of Lincoln excluding the short guy, I mean McClellan. Then Rodman, then Mansfield? Is the tall, bear-like gentleman far left Williams? Oh, and is McLerland the anti social fellow far right?
