This is the first time in five years that I will miss visiting Antietam National Battlefield on the anniversay. I just didn't have the personal/medical time to take the day off. Last night however, I did dream that I was in a Civil War cemetery placing roses on the graves of soldiers. I think that that has me covered.
In honor of the soldiers 23,000 missing, wounded and killed (3,654) that fell on America's single bloodiest day I present to you my collection of Civil War photographs.
