Battle of Antietam ( Sharpsburg ) 17th September 1862 Timeline 12.15 PM. General McClellan, following the news of Major General Summers repulse has decided to appraise the situation first hand. Riding his stead, Daniel Webster, he gallops with his staff towards Major General Franklin's deploying Sixth Corps in order to speak with Franklin and Summers as to his next move.

Amazing work. I am anxiously awaiting your stop motion film of the battle….if you ever thought of doing one…just a thought.

Artistic level! – I only hope those Blue Bellies get a lot of high rolls on their dice!

That last picture looks like a segment of a famous painting! Wonderful! By the way, one can get a close-up view by putting your curser in the picture frame, then tapping CTRL twice! Zoom in/out with mouse wheel and pan around by holding down left mouse button!
