Caption: The 28th Ohio Position
Additional Description: For a portion of the morning, the 28th Ohio occupied the high ground here, supporting the attempts to seize the Lower Bridge. Later the regiment sent five companies to cross at a point north of the bridge, near where the modern Burnside Bridge Bypass bridge crosses the Antietam. The crossing occurred at about the same time the 51st New York and 51st Pennsylvania stormed the bridge.
