“The Artillery and Brigades of Antietam” Speaker Series in the Pry Barn: Confederate Artillery

Historian and Author Jim Rosebrock Will Discuss the Confederate Artillery at Antietam

On Saturday July 15th at 2:00 PM at the Pry House Field Hospital Museum Barn, Historian and Artillery of Antietam author Jim Rosebrock will present The Confederate Artillery at Antietam during our “Artillery & Brigades of Antietam” speaker series sponsored by the Antietam Institute. The artillery played an important role in the many engagements of the campaign, especially at Antietam. One artillerist called the fighting on September 17, 1862, simply, “Artillery Hell.” Rosebrock will discuss the divisional artillery batteries and Artillery Reserve of the Army of the Northern Virginia including its formation and history, commander, armament and role in the Maryland Campaign.

The presentation begins in the Pry Barn at 2:00 PM and is a pay-what-you-please event. There is a $3.00 suggested donation to tour the Pry House Field Hospital Museum. Members access events and tours for FREE.
