The bloodiest day in American history was going to kick off in the early morning hours of September 17th, 1862. Situated between the Army of the Potomac and the Army of Northern Virginia was a farm that belonged to the Miller family. The Battle of Antietam would transform their stand of crops from simply being a cornfield to The Cornfield.

By the way!! The movie Glory is the best Civil War movie ever! I was forced to watch this movie in history class in my freshman year of high school. When we would get to watch a movie, I would sleep or pass notes or goof off. Not a word was said. Not an eye closed. No goofing off. I was fixated on this incredible movie. I have watched that movie over 40 times now. I love your channel. I can't get enough.

I am enjoying your series on Antietam. In 1962, at the age of 15 I rode in a covered wagon from the square in Hagerstown to Antietam. Not sure my tail bone has ever recovered. My father, Reuben U. Darby was the founder of Living History, a Civil War re-enactment group.. He eventually opened 2 Civil War Museums - one in Sharpsburg (which has burned down) and one in Harpers Ferry Civil War Showcase, ( which is now a KOA campground.} Through my teenage years I lived in antebellum dresses as much as poodle skirts --- Thank you for keeping history alive - because they sure don't teach our history in schools anymore.

Here in the San Francisco Bay Area We Have Fort Point and Angel Island and the nearest Civil War re-enactment is at Duncans Mill near the Russian River. My Cousin John D. O’Connor had Toured Gettysburg with His Dad Jack O’ Connor of Moraga Calif. See obit. I am always impressed When I see young people take a interest in living History . My Youngest Daughter and Grandsons are about Your age. I hope You continue to share fun and Memorable Times with Your family re-enacting. I would be a very happy man if My Sons and Grandsons had girlfriends and wives like You. My oldest Son is a Doctor in the Green Beret . His career is demanding and though He had pretty girlfriends before the Army He found the Army more exciting . I hope Your Mom and Dad give You the same advice My parents Gave Me and I gave My Kids . Always pay attention to how well a family gets along when choosing Your company. Historically teen years can be challenging to teens and family. From Your Comment I can tell You are a good Girl and tell Your Parents that I am proud of them and appreciate all they have done. Even though I may never get a chance to visit back East and all the Museums that I would love to visit. Have You ever listened to the Music of John Edmond! Troopie Boy You Won, The Deafening Silence and more. Many of My family served in combat My Son in Iraq, a Nephew there as well and Uncles who saw much more combat in WW2 . They were saddened at how quickly people forget.

That was eerie when the period photo of that home was displayed that showed 3 people standing on the porch all those years ago. I paused the video and made note of some of the homes details. Those cellar doors are original, others details of the home are original as well. And there he stood in modern times just 15' away, accept, those 3 people that once stood on that very porch are long gone. For some reason I always notice things like that and it saddens me. I hope whoever those 3 people were lived a full rewarding life.

My ancestor was killed here. He was shot in the gut just after advancing through the cornfield. He was taken to a field hospital where he died early the next day. He had an infant daughter back home that he never got to meet. I am in awe whenever I visit battlefields to think of all the young men who died horrifically. All of them had families, hopes, and dreams and they were just snuffed out.

Ours too and in Gettysburg. What Regiment/unit was he with did you know?

Any wound/injury was potentially highly devastating and deadly. May he rip and it doesn't matter what side. All soldiers. Man, I've been waiting for him to come to antietam for so long now, and now that he has, I too, am in awe. Idk who you're family member was but I've probably seen his name. Actually, without a doubt. I've read over every single name that was there that day. Rip to all those lost and affected that day.

I got the honor to reenact at the 135th anniversary of the battle. I am a member of the 150th PVI Bucktails. We were not mustered in until after the battle but the original bucktails the 13th PA were so we portrayed them and were the first unit into the cornfield. It was at 5:30 am. The battle was intense and chaotic. It was by far one of the best battles I've had the honor to reenact. You'll never see a battle as large as they used to have. For the 135th of Gettysburg we had almost a full pickets charge. I want to get back into it I had the time of my life sharing and educationg people.

As a child back home in England I had a keen interest in history in general and, the American Civil War was a favorite subject. This was probably because it was the war that was to change future conflict and around the world. When I finally got the opportunity to actually visit these battlefields for myself, it was literally a dream come true. I find these visits are exciting while at the same time somber, they are both beautiful and filled with buried horrors. Standing on The Bloody Lane was a truly emotional time for me, as was the site of Pickets Charge at Gettysburg. I feel honored to have been able to stand on ground that was a killing ground for both sides of the conflict. I'm also grateful that there are organizations that are actively doing so much good work taking care of, and preserving the history of, these incredibly important sites. Excellent series 👍

@xxjj4082 Год назад

I had relatives in the decimated TEXAS 1st, several didn't make it - few did(obviously). Of course it was just hear-say now, but handed down was that nothing nice was said bout Hood upon their return home. That death ratio in ANY battle would make any reasonable Soldier retire from the field of battle. Like it was said before, to move about the dead/wounded of your friends, family and the enemy dead/wounded like they did, these Soldiers had BALLS OF STEEL.

I was taught many years ago, during a anniversary reenactment of Sharpsburg, that corn fields today, bare no resemblance to their 19th century counterparts. The rows, as they were explained to me, were much wider and though you still had surprise encounters in the rows, a man could freely walk through them. Much has changed since then….and some, has not. I’m looking forward to the series. It’s a brutal battlefield! And beautiful at the same time.

@davidvaninwagen9391 2 месяца назад

Antietam has a special place in my heart. Between participating in the filming of the park service film and also in the 130th reenactment of Antietam, I’ve spent years covering this hollowed ground. During the 130th we went into the corn field as the 6th Wisconsin. I was 1st sgt of the color company. That day was special in all my years in this hobby because of the realism of that event. The fog was thick going into the corn field and the fighting was intense like waves of yelling men that would appear out of the fog and retreat, almost like waves crashing on a rocky beach. Dressing the lines was difficult at best and the fighting at points became so chaotic at times that there was genuine concern that the threshold of safety was being broken. Thankfully nobody was injured that I was aware, but sadly one Confederate reenactor lost his life in the corn field due to a medical emergency. From what I’ve heard, he told someone next to him that he was going to rest and take a drink and simply passed. 16,000 or so reenactors were involved in that event. It wasn’t the largest reenactment that’s been held, but it certainly played out very much like the real battle, a genuine tribute to the men that gave their lives that day.

It was a very dark time and it’s sad that this war even happened. So many young men never had the opportunity to live and so many women never saw their husbands and sons come home on both sides. As tragic as this is and as hard as some of the stories are to visualize, it must never be forgotten. Let’s also hope it’s never repeated.

Agreed. Thanks for watching.

Heathen I'm a rebel but I'm glad I wasn't around back then, no 1 year tours there. WW1 was very bad also, but only the Dead have seen the end of war.

Great video. It inspires me to visit Antietam a second time. I used to volunteer for the N Parks Department and provide tours of the Stonewall Jackson Shrine which they now call a museum or death site.

@cheyennedanz8567 Год назад

Very good vid. Live in Md and have been to Antietam many of times. You give a very good perspective describing the battle while walking the battlefield. A lot better than trying to visualize the situation watching animated battle maps. Well done. Thank you.

antietem is such a more somber place to visit. to me i can so feel the power of the day when i am there...different from gettysburg. you look at the sunken road and the intensity just overwhelms you. i think everyone who visits gettysburg should visit antietem. such a powerful place.

Quite the place. Love how well preserved it is.

@pjdemario1328 Год назад

Yes! I had one of my strongest paranormal experiences as I was about to walk the Cornfield Trail about 5 years ago! It happened just as I was about to walk the trail, starting across the street from the 7th & 4th Pennsylvania Monuments. I wanted to video my walk, so I turned on my phone, and just as I was about to hit “record”, my phone completely shut down, and would not turn back on. For several minutes, I tried to turn my phone back on, but it was dead (mind you it had 80% battery before I started trying to video!). I got back in my car, drove about 1/2 mile away, tried my phone again, and it turned immediately back on!

@@pjdemario1328 I've heard of several accounts just like that, and with video cameras shutting down. Pretty wild stuff.

@jasonwilliamson8416 Год назад

The Cornfield fight has always been near and dear to me because I had two great great uncles that fought against each other there. One served with the 19th Indiana of the Iron Brigade. He survived the Antietam fight but would be killed in action the following year at Gettysburg. The other was one of the original members of Wheat's Louisiana Tiger Battalion. By the time of Antietam Wheat was dead and the remnants of the Battalion had been merged with Coppens Louisiana Zouaves. The last time he was heard from was in a letter written to his sister a couple of days after Second Manassas. It's presumed that he was killed at Antietam.
