"The dead at the Bloody Lane in Antietam (Sharpsburg)"

When I visited there a few years ago with my father in law, I pointed out to him (a WWII combat veteran) that in the first four hours at Antietam more American were killed that on D-Day. He was astonished. Most people just don't realize how bloody that conflict was as both sides killed each other with great vigor.
