Dunker Church at Antietam National Civil War Battlefield in Maryland

The verdant shades of spring surround the Dunker Church at Antietam National Military Park in Sharpsburg, Maryland. The Dunker Church was the scene of fierce combat during the Battle of Antietam in September 1862.

Burnside's Bridge was built in 1833 and was fought over during the American Civil War.

John Sedgwick (September 13, 1813 – May 9, 1864) was a teacher, a career military officer, and a Union Army general in the American Civil War. He was wounded three times at the Battle of Antietam while leading his division in an unsuccessful assault, causing him to miss the Battle of Fredericksburg. Under his command, the VI Corps played an important role in the Chancellorsville Campaign by engaging Confederate troops at the Second Battle of Fredericksburg and the Battle of Salem Church. His Corps was the last to arrive at the Battle of Gettysburg, and thus did not see much action. Sedgwick was killed by a sharpshooter at the Battle of Spotsylvania Court House on May 9, 1864, making him and Major General John F. Reynolds (July 1st, 1863 Gettysburg) the highest ranking United States soldiers to be killed in the war. He is well-remembered for his ironic last words: "They couldn't hit an elephant at this distance."

"A young man finishes hiking the Bloody Lane Trail at Antietam National Military Battlefield in Maryland. Similar trails access key areas of the national park, which preserves the site where Confederate and Union troops fought on Sept. 17, 1862. Hiking has become a popular activity at Antietam since the National Park Service developed the trail network."
