A really interesting site VERY close to Antietam and in particular near where they are is the site of the Battle of Shepardstown, WV just a few miles from the video. It was fought immediately after Antietam and was an extremely complex and compelling little battle. Kinda like a Balls Bluff type thing. There are numerous physical remains of structures that stood during the battle and outstanding first hand accounts. One PA unit, the 118th I think, was almost annihilated. There are also a few standard monuments and markers there. Really cool and off the beaten path site. The battlefield trust has preserved a nice chunk of the site.

Antietam is another one that is awesome to see. It was even more poignant for me to stand on many of those spots where the photos of dead soldiers were taken, some of the first photos that showed the public what the war was really like. I have a request when you all get around to it...South Mountain!

Great episode! Like any field you can't appreciate it until you get to ground level and walk it! Maps only immerse you so deep into a study. The "aha" moments come when your boots hit the ground!

Great presentation. Some great information. I'm hoping to be able to go to Antietam later this year. I've recently found out that I have family history in that area from before the Civil War. Christian Orndorff (Spelled Orendorff now a days) is an ancestor of mine.

I enjoy your video presentations and am able to take advantage of trips to both Gettysburg and Antietam quite often. One thing I would ask - please have your camera pan around at times especially when the speaker is pointing off in a different direction. This would give the viewer much better perspective.

Ah, the 3rd Indiana Cavalry. If any here are fans of the old fictional western TV show "The Rifleman," you may remember that Lucas McCain was an officer for one or more of the Indiana cavalry units. I think in several episodes the unit claimed varied and may have included the 3rd cavalry, but whatever the units they were all from Indiana. I think the one mentioned the most was the Indiana 19th Cavalry, but I think that unit was only infantry not cavalry. So if McCain was with the 19th Indiana Infantry he "fought" at South Mountain and at Antietam. This is just a fun "fact" for ye ole TV western fans of yore! Another favorite (of mine) in those days was Paladin of "Have Gun Will Travel." He also was a union cavalry officer having graduated from West Point. Maybe he was in the 3rd Indiana? Paladin was a no nonsense dandy, I loved his character. He may have been in the same West Point class as Custer which would have meant he graduated higher than Custer. I don't think the show ever mentioned his name, so again it is hard to check the "facts" of his class ranking. :>) I remember "Johnny Yuma" also from TV's western days. "Johnny Yuma was a rebel" as the song went. I don't remember too many of the episodes, (the above shows had many reruns) but after the war he still wore his reb uniform from place to place. Got him trouble sometimes too. I remember he was in a Texas unit, my home state. I don't know which regiment, but he may have been duking it out 159 years ago today! Despite that furious battle all those years ago, all these guys survived and shot up a few bad characters to help tame the west. Great tour guys! I'm a recent subscriber.
