Antietam Bloody Lane

A second video from the Sunken Road (Bloody Lane) on the Antietam National Battlefield, near Sharpsburg, Maryland.

This is a tour of the Bloody Lane area starting with the view from the observation tower to the south, moving along the lane to the north west.

Please take a look at Video History Today http://www.videohistorytoday.com , the first web site to offer unique collections of re-usable original video clips designed for teachers and students.

The idea behind Video History Today is to give schools the raw material to make mini-documentaries and video essays on historical subjects.

Initial packages focus on World War I (Somme and Ieper areas), The Holocaust, the American Civil War and D-Day & Normandy 1944.

Is it at the watcher tower where the NYers gained enfilade over the confederates? Where it takes a 90 degree turn back to the north west? I am trying to pin point it on google earth but there is no specific marker for the spot.

@exxcalibur1973 Sorry, I don't know. The grid position of Bloody Lane is this 39°28'17.03"N 77°44'24.66"W but I cannot answer your question.

When you see it in person, it makes you think because of what happened there.
