BURNS' BRIGADE AT THE BATTLE OF ANTIETAM

Knowing the deep interest taken by your readers in the welfare of the BURNS' Bridage, recruited, as it is, mainly from "dear old Philadelphia", I take liberty jotting down a few incidents of the battle of Antietam creek, as seen from our own stand point..... [there is a very interesting account that I will not re-type, but can be found if you search Walter Leggett in the year 1862)...

ONE-HUNDRED AND SIXTH REGIMENT....

COMPANY G - KILLED
Walter F. Leggett
~~~~~~~
The Battle of Antietam took place September 16-18, 1862

Over 23,000 men fell as casualties in the one-day Battle of Antietam, making it the bloodiest day in American history. The Union victory at Antietam resulted in President Abraham Lincoln issuing his Preliminary Emancipation Proclamation on September 22, 1862.
