The fighting in the Wheatfield was so brutal that 1/3 of all combatants became casualties.
I very much agree with Dan's sentiment about Antietam's 'Bloodylane'. Hhowever, for me walking the Wheatfield @ Gettysburg reminds me more of The Miller Cornfield (which one can't walk do to crops framers still grow there). Antietam, by the way is the best preserved battlefield I've ever seen.
