The Battle of Antietam, the bloodiest single-day battle in American history, with about 23,000 casualties, was fought on September 17, 1862 near Sharpsburg, Maryland, and Antietam Creek. Also known as the Battle of Sharpsburg, it was the first major battle in the American Civil War to take place on Northern soil.

The Red Badge of Courage
Stephen Crane
b. 11-1- 1871; NJ
d. 6-5-1900, Germany - tuberculosis
Quote Appearing on This Print: “He suddenly lost concern for himself, and forgot to look at a menacing fate. He became not a man but a member. He felt that something of which he was a part – a regiment, an army, a cause, or a country – was in crisis. He was welded into a common personality which was dominated by a single desire. For some moments he could flee no more than a little finger can commit a revolution from a hand.” The Red Badge of Courage

John Brown
b. 5-9-1800; Torrington, CT
d. 12-2-1859; Charles Town, VA - executed by hanging
The abolitionist John Brown “advocated and practiced armed insurrection” as a means of abolishing all slavery. He was active in “Bleeding Kansas” in 1856 and the 1859 raid on an arsenal at Harper's Ferry.
He wrote, on the day of his death; “I, John Brown, am now quite certain that the crimes of this guilty land will never be purged away but with blood. I had, as I now think, vainly flattered myself that without very much bloodshed it might be done.”
FYI - One of the men killed in the raid was Lewis Sheridan Leary, who was the first husband of poet Langston Hughes grandmother.
