In the Corn Field

Taken last month at Antietam. View is looking west from the south end of the Corn Field. The Hagerstown Pike is just past the tree.

Nice photo as usual. Sharpsburg is the one Eastern battlefield that I would most like to visit sometime. It seems to be well preserved.

A great shot of the Cornfield at Antietam, just missing the corn. I would love to see a movie version of that fight alone.

In the directors cut version of Gods and Generals, the Antietam sequence is added including the Cornfield.

If I ever get the chance I'd love to revisit this battlefield. The first time we stopped there it was a couple of weeks before the actual anniversary date of the battle but the corn was there. Whats the old saying "high as an elephants eye"?
This is consecrated ground and the fact there is a Texas monument there makes it that much more so to me. It usually means some Texas Boys did something Historic there.

Some pictures of the field with corn. Taken in the month of July, so the corn would be higher during the battle. Older low resolution pictures I took years ago. The first two were taken looking across the field from the East Woods.

Thanks for sharing these photos. This place is somewhere in my bucket list to visit someday soon.

Love Antietam! Possibly my favorite battlefield.
