Descriptive Information

Title
Dead rebel artillerymen near the Dunker Church, Antietam battlefield
Description
Photograph, b/w
Interpretation
The Confederates posted a battery of light artillery outside of this building used for religious services by the sect (of the Church of the Brethren) known as the Dunkers. The number of dead men and horses and the shell-holes through the church show how much firepower was aimed here by the Union forces.
