    One of the many interesting aspects, to me, of this much reproduced photo is the figure at right in the big hat with his hand on a saber: George Armstrong Custer.

    To my view, they are all little men but one. Sacket might give him a go.

    I never visited the Antietam Battlefield, but I DID visit Gettysburg, the Battle of the Wilderness, Chancelorsville, and Fredericksburg. It's a sobering visit and moment in your lifetime to traverse soil that was drenched in the blood of Union and Confederate soldiers. Hallowed ground, that these sites are. But, in the words of Ulysses S. Grant at the Appomattox Courthouse, " These (Confederate) men were once our enemy....they are now our fellow countrymen." And so, the confederates merely dropped their rifles, and went fishing for the rest of the day.

    I wonder why this photo was copied with the book and the large margin included. It would be nice to be able to see the picture as it was originally taken,
