Hello again, Mary, It seems I was able to answer my own question. After a tumultuous arrival in Frederick, GBM established HQ on the farm of Dr. Lewis Steiner...
You're more than welcome, Mary. GBM was indeed on the move that day, at least until he reached Frederick. The overwhelming outpouring of relief and welcome...
Thanks Tim. After I wrote that reply I thought to myself that you may have wanted a specific location like a house or what ever. This may sound kind of funny...
Hi Mary, Thanks for the input. The Lincoln telegram you refer to was not sent almost immediately after McClellan received the Lost Order. It was in fact sent...
According to Stephen Sears in "Landscape Turned Red" oh page 113, MacCellan replied to Lincoln about a previous communication from Frederick, MD. His reply to...
Here's a brain teaser for all you devotees. Where were McClellan's headquarters located on Saturday, September 13, 1862, the day he acquired the "Lost Order"?...
Hi Group, I hope the following will be of interest. It's the content of a newsletter I created for the AotW site's members, but I think it may have items of...
Todd, What a great new resouce this is! I'll get my stereo glasses soon, but even without, having the annotated Gardner photos all in one place, with Bill...
Group, I have finished my preliminary gallery of Antietam stereo views. Nearly all the stereo images of Gardner's Sept/Oct 1862 series are included, many of...
Speaking of witness trees -- I live close the the Kennesaw Mountain National Battlefield Park where they tell you to look high in the trees and you can see odd...

Tim and Brian, It is a witness tree as it has been in (a tree witness protection program, haha, could not resist)a historic tree program (I can't recall the...
I think you have a winner. Next time I'm over there (15 minutes away) I'll take a closer look. Tim ... cut out of ... pictures ... the other ... witness tree ...
Here's a better and closer picture of the tree. This is a section cut out of one of the pictures I took of the bridge (I take high resolution pictures and then...
Hi Brian, Looks like the Burnside's Bridge sycamore may very well be a witness tree, judging by specs found at http://www.2020site.org/trees/sycamore.html Have...
I might be wrong on that. Looking at the pictures that I took of the bridge and that tree from my trip last April, the tree definately looks much older than I...
Found this website recently that purports to show witness trees to certain Civil War battles. Some I know are correct such as the Baltimore St. Sycamores and...
Hey guys! I'm tentatively scheduled to do some signings up in Chambersburg (I believe) and at the Antietam NBP bookstore. July 23 and 24. For those of you...
Sorry, all, about another Spam message. I have taken Mr Morris' advice and I have set the list so all new members must have posts moderated. I hope that'll...
*sigh* Is there any limit to how low spammers will go? The kicker is the lie that makes it sound as if the owner of this list is responsable for their garbage...

How much the slope on the Union side has changed is open to debate. However, it has been reworked. There used to be a parking lot on the east side of the creek...
I think the slope at Burnside Bridge was like now. The floodplain is on both sides of the cliff and on the Union side of the stream. ... From: NJ Rebel To:...

Dear Brian and James, The other thing you want to remember is the Antietam Creek at the Bridge does NOT look as if did in 1862! The banks originally were NOT...
Just hope those darned pesky little bugs aren't flitting around the bridge. They pestered me so much I wrote 'em into my book. A piece of advice -- the visitor...
I was actually amazed at how different the terrain around the Burnside Bridge was when I saw it for the first time than from how I envisioned it beforehand....
