Join distinguished battlefield guide Ed Bearss for this two-day signature tour of one of the Civil
War’s most decisive battlefields.
We’ll begin the weekend tour on Friday evening with two lectures
beginning at 8 PM. First, you’ll learn about the
Confederate high command from Dennis
Frye, while Ted Alexander
will talk about the men in the ranks who wore the Blue & the Gray.
Saturday morning we’ll cover the opening action of the battle.
After stopping at McClellan’s headquarters, the Pry House, we’ll
follow Hooker’s route to the battlefield and deploy the Iron Brigade
and the Pennsylvania
Reserves. Then, we’ll cover the
action in the Cornfield and walk the advance of Sedgwick’s division to
their impending ambush.
On Sunday we’ll, walk the Bloody Lane, stand with
Burnside at the Rohrbach
Bridge and follow the route
of the 16th Connecticut
along the newly opened final attack trail.
This will be a detailed examination of the Battle
of Antietam, with several walking
excursions, that will take you to points on the battlefield which were
previously inaccessible to visitors.
