Hello everyone. At the moment I am sitting in my Brooklyn home with the casualty lists of the incredibly gory battle of Antietam. I am very nervous about my brother, George's well been. The list said that he was injured. He joined the was to fight for the Union awhile back. He survived with no wounds with an New York regiment for an attach on the lower bridge. I am still awaiting word from him. If you didn't already know Antietam was the single most bloodiest day in American military history. In fact 27,000 were either killed or wounded. It was the first invasion the Confederates had on the North. The North won the battle. This battle was what made Aberham Lincon create the Emancipation Proclamation. Anyways its crazy up her in New York. A bunch of people are joining the Union. Alright so let me know what you think and if you have any information on my brother, if I don't find out he's okay I'm going to have to find him.
