Photographer: Craig Swain
Taken: April 6, 2008
Caption: 12th U.S. Infantry Morning Position
Additional Description: During the morning hours of the battle, the 12th U.S. remained on the west side of the Antietam around the Newcomer Farm. From this position just south of the Newcomer Barn, the Boonsboro Pike is seen on the far right, where the utility poles stand. The ridge line in the center (to the west) shielded the regiment from most Confederate artillery fires.
