Additional Description: Through the morning, on this ground on the east side of the Burnside Bridge, in front of the tablet cluster and the 51st New York Monument (on the left) the IX Corps fought to attain a foot hold to support a crossing of Antietam Creek. Forced into a very confined space, the Corps found its way blocked by a handful of Confederates on high ground on the west side.
