In the early morning hours of September 17 1862, Maj. Gen. Joseph Hooker’s I Corps mounted a powerful assault on Lee’s left flank near what is now known as “Antietam’s Bloody Cornfield”. The field would change hands several times as repeated Union attacks and brutal Confederate counterattacks swept back and forth across the now blood soaked cornfield. I’m this episode we will explore a few stories of heroism from Battery B of the 4th U.S artillery.
