Since this week marks the anniversary of the battle of Antietam, I thought a fitting subject for Monument Monday would be some of the smaller State and unit monuments on the battlefield, like that dedicated to the Union's famous Irish Brigade above.
Another monument honoring a brigade-sized unit is the one dedicated to the Philadelphia Brigade in its own park in what was once part of the West Woods where the brigade was cut to pieces in a counterattack.
Above and below, two Regimental monuments near the Cornfield.
Two state monuments are those of Maryland above and Texas below.
The State of New York has one of the largest monuments at Antietam, seen here in photos from two different visits.
Pennsylvania regimental monument at the sunken road also known as Bloody Lane.
Above and below, two different styles of Ohio regimental monuments near Burnside's Bridge.
