Texas Monument

Commemorating Texas soldiers who fought for the Confederacy at Antietam (Sharpsburg), Maryland, USA, in the US Civil War, September 16-17, 1862. September 17, 1862 remains the bloodiest day in US history, with 22,717 total casualties. Position on the map is as best as I can remember. "Antietam" is pronounced "an-TEE-tam", btw.

The Bloody Cornfield

Site of one of the most savage encounters at the Battle of Antietam (Sharpsburg) in the US Civil War, Sept. 16-17, 1862. Elements of the opposing sides were firing at near point-blank range in a field of standing corn (i.e., maize, in US usage). Antietam is pronounced an-TEE-tum, btw. Kind of a contrast to the peaceful Maryland countryside today. The site is now a US historic park.
