Antietam: A photographic journey back in time

ANTIETAM SUNRISE: Near Visitors' Center, the New York monument looming in background.

BURNSIDE BRIDGE: "Witness tree" next to bridge in an early morning photograph.

JOSEPH POFFENBERGER FARM:  Staging area for Union troops.

BLOODY LANE: Observation tower and 132nd Pennsylvania monument in background.

BURNSIDE BRIDGE: An iconic Civil War scene.

FARMER JOHN OTTO'S 40-ACRE FIELD:  16th Connecticut monument in the background.

I channeled my inner Alexander Gardner, Mathew Brady and Timothy O'Sullivan to create these shots of some of my favorite Antietam scenes.
