Our family lost a descendant in the fighting at antietam (49th Penn volunteers, I think) so I understand what you mean.

My great-great grandfather(mom's side) work in the Surgeon Generals Office in DC from 1861 to 1865. I believe my oldest brother has his diary, some record books, papers and other property that was his. I remember him reading me a notation sometime written in mid-October of 1862 where my ancestor made mention about still treating ‘’the Antietam wounded’’, and he wrote of ‘’grievous wounds.. ‘’ many amputations.’’
