Lee's defensive position from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., and where the Irish Brigade broke through the line to deliver enfilading fire that slaughtered the Rebels, who, in savage hand-to-hand fighting, killed the Federals in great numbers (3,000 Federals; 2,600 Confederates), this incomparable killing ground largely contributing to the fact that Antietam was the bloodiest single day in the war; (Artist: James Hope); Location: Antietam, Maryland Date: September 17, 1862 Category: American Civil War Topic: Artwork Keywords: American Civil War, Antietam, Maryland, 1862, Bloody Lane, Sunken Lane, Sunken Road Orientation: Landscape Dimensions: 2325 x 1199 (2.79 MPixels) (1.94) Print Size: 19.7 x 10.2 cm; 7.8 x 4.0 inches File Size: 8.14 MB (8,532,344 Bytes) Resolution: 300 x 300 dpi Color Depth: 16.7 million (24 BitsPerPixel) Compression: None Image Number: 0000006887c Source: Jay Robert Nash Collection |
