Photographic War History. The War For The Union. 1861-1865. No. 553. The “Sunken Road” at Antietam. This ditch or “sunken road” was used by the Rebels as a rifle pit. A Union battery succeeded in getting an excellent range of this road, and slaughtered the enemy like sheep. This view of some of the dead just as they fell, is only a specimen of many groups of dead in the terrible trap, the “sunken road.” [Taylor & Huntington stereo card]
