Sobering photo from our tour of the Antietam National Battlefield on Saturday.

The Sunken Road, as it was known to area residents prior to the Battle of Antietam, was a dirt farm lane which was used primarily by farmers to bypass Sharpsburg and had been worn down over the years by rain and wagon traffic. In three hours of combat on 17 September 1862, 5,500 soldiers were either killed or wounded and neither the Confederate nor Union troops gained a decisive advantage. The Sunken Road is now called Bloody Lane.
