#BattleofAntietam

"If These Walls Could Talk" … This is a new version of an old favorite that I first posted back in June of 2017. There were a few things about the original that have been bugging me … apparently for 7 years 🙄 … and today, for some reason, I decided to try to fix them. The bad thing is, there are several important real-life things I should have been doing today instead of this. But oh well. One must strike while the iron is hot … or while inspiration hits … or the muse sings … or whatever … right??

This is a beautiful home that I found while wandering around #Antietam #Battlefield … of our #CivilWar … one afternoon. I don't think it's actually a part of the park? Maybe someone knows more and can correct me. If memory serves (it rarely does) I think it's very near the bridge at Little Antietam Creek. I have a feeling the home and farm was probably in existence during the battle … those glorious warm stones and the architectural style just seem to fit the era.

In July of 1863, a #Union burial detail at #Gettysburg, #Pennsylvania made a startling discovery near #CemeteryRidge. Among the bodies covering the ground--the men found a dead woman wearing the uniform of a #Confederate #private. The burial detail had stumbled upon one of the most intriguing stories of the Civil War: Although the inherently clandestine nature of the activity makes an accurate count impossible, conservative estimates of female soldiers in the Civil War puts the number somewhere between 400 and 750. Long viewed by historians as anomalies, recent scholarship argues that the women who fought in the #CivilWar shared the same motivations as their male companions. Some women went to war in order to share in the trials of their loved ones. Others were stirred by a thirst for adventure, the promise of reliable wages, or ardent patriotism.Women stood a smaller chance of being discovered than one might think. Most of the people who fought in the war were “ #citizen soldiers “with no prior military training. Some women in uniform were still discovered, often after being wounded in battle and sent to a field hospital. #ClaraBarton, who went on to found the #RedCross, discovered #MaryGalloway's true identity while treating a chest wound Galloway had suffered at the #BattleofAntietam. The Civil War changed the nation's perception of its citizens' capabilities and catalyzed a new push for equality not only between races, but between genders as well.

If you were coming up the hill near Sharpsburg, Maryland and Antietam Creek on September 17, 1862, this is what you would have come face to face with this. You would have found yourself in what Wikipedia says was "...the first Field army-level engagement in the Eastern Theater of the American Civil War to take place on Union soil. It is the bloodiest single-day battle in American history, with a combined tally of 22,717 dead, wounded, or missing." Odds are good you would not have made it out. I sure hope someone is keeping an eye on history. This is a short way from where I live. #sharpsburg #antietam #cannon #bloody #learnfromhistory #washingtoncounty #md #maryland #civilwar #thingshavetochange #battleofsharpsburg #battleofantietam

The Battle of Antietam ended the Confederate Army of Northern Virginia's first invasion into the North and led Abraham Lincoln to set forth the first Emancipation Proclamation.  Located in western Maryland, Antietam National Battlefield is the site of the bloodiest one day battle in American History when, on September 17, 1862, 23,000 soldiers were killed, wounded or missing after twelve hours of savage combat. The battlefield is approximately 3,000 acres that visitors can explore with historical markers, museum exhibits, and park rangers. 🗺Colonial Capital Tours ☎️ 800.334.3754 💻 www.ColonialCapitalTours.com 📧 info@ColonialCapitalTours.com #studenttours #schooltrips #grouptours #educationaltours #fieldtrips #daytrips #classtrips #onedaytrips #studentgroups #schoolgroups #schoolgroupoutings #educationalstudenttours #nycdoevendor #seniortrips #multidaytrips #studenttrips #schoolprincipal #highschoolprincipal #hsprincipal #middleschoolprincipal #principal #nycprincipal #doevendor #ushistory #americanhistory #civilwar #civilwarbattlefields #battlefields #antietam  #antietamnationalbattlefield #battleofantietam #maryland #colonialcapitaltours

Recreating this famous Civil War photograph was a fun challenge! Lincoln was played by our very own Director of Photography, Matt Bucy. To make the shot look just right, @abeduenas even moved some trees around! (Then he moved them back at the end of the day ... now that's dedication! ) #twiceNothingisStillNothing #thanksAbe #productionstill #episodeV #DividedWeStand #startrekcontinues #tos #startrek #webseries #fanfilm #enterprise #stc #civilwar #Lincoln #battleofantietam #igg #ToBoldlyIndieGoGo

"Burnside Bridge In Spring"

At my website: https://lois-bryan.pixels.com/featured/burnside-bridge-in-spring-lois-bryan.html

One of my own personal favorites … this was the scene of great tragedy during the #BattleofAntietam in the #AmericanCivilWar. Seen here in a different season and a different century.

I took the photo on which this is loosely based on a gloomy rainy day in May of 2019 and #digitallyhandpainted it in #CorelPainter, having a lot of fun bringing the sunlight back. I wish I could wave a magic wand and do the same to the very turbulent times in which we are living.

No Ai / artificial intelligence things used.

I read somewhere that there are more of these stone arch bridges in our county than anywhere else in the country. This is the Hitt Bridge over Antietam Creek. It's a 105-feet long with a high center arch was built at a cost of $1,413.66 in 1830. A few months ago I was 2/3 the way across in my car when a police car suddenly met me head on. Luckily he stopped in time and backed up--it's only one lane. If you had tried to cross around September 17, 1862 you would have encountered thousands of civil war soldiers from both sides about to fight the bloodiest battle of the war. If you had been there at the right time in 1755, you would have seen General Braddock and army fording the creek on his way to defeat and death (relieved by a 23 year old George Washington). #stonebridge #archbridge #antietam #antietamcreek #civilwar #battleofantietam #frenchindianwar #singlelanebridge #washingtoncounty #maryland
