It's a key part of the battle and potentially could have turned a kinda, sorta Union victory into something much bigger.
I've reached out to Dr. Bradley Gottfried, who authored "The Maps of Antietam" and he's allowed me to share his maps for this part of the battle in order to fuel discussion about the assault of Hooker's 1st Corps and the Confederate defense.
And with that I present Map 11.5 with offers the situation from 6:15 - 7:00 a.m.
At this point Duryee's brigade had already ventured to the south end of the Cornfield, engaged Douglass and Walker's brigades and withdrew to the north end of the Cornfield to be replaced by Hartsuff's brigade. Hays brigade was brought into the fight between Douglass and Walker.
Penn and Grigsby's brigades are withdrawing, with the brigades of Starke and Jackson moving up to replace them.
