A series of events is being held this week in commemoration of the 150th anniversary of Antietam.http://www.nps.gov/anti/index.htmFrom the "Did you know?" section on some of the pages:
Private Johnny Cook, a bugler with Battery B, 4th U.S., was awarded the Medal of Honor for his actions at Antietam when he was only 15 years old.
The First Texas Infantry lost 82% of their men killed, wounded and missing while fighting in the Cornfield at Antietam, the highest casualty rate for any Confederate regiment in one battle of the Civil War.
