September 17, 1862 was the bloodiest single day in the American Civil War. More than 23,000 soldiers on either side were either killed, wounded, or listed as missing. This is one of the many monuments honoring the sacrifice of soldiers from both the North and South here on the fields on the outskirts of Sharpsburg, MD.
