In the image above, 14th Connecticut veterans gather at their monument at the Antietam battlefield, probably after the dedication on the morning of Oct. 11, 1894. Love those old battlefield images of Antietam such as this one of the
16th Connecticut monument, this one of the
11th Connecticut monument, this one of
Burnside Bridge and this one of
Antietam National Cemetery. I found this photograph in the Connecticut State Library archives along with
this image taken from a similar vantage point. Unlike the other 14th Connecticut image, which may have been taken by veteran Henry Page or Henry P. Hammond, there's no indication of who shot this photograph, which I have cropped slightly. The William Roulette farmhouse can barely be seen in the right background of the original. Below: Civil War blogger John Rogers shot these photos of the 14th Connecticut and 108th Pennsylvania monuments as fog shrouded the battlefield this morning.
Rogers' blog chronicles the life of Oliver Case, a private in the 8th Connecticut from Simsbury, Conn., who was killed at Antietam.
