- Abstract - a brief summary of the content of the text
- The consensus by most is that it was A.P. Hill’s Light Division smashing into the vulnerable left flank of Rodman’s division which stopped the Ninth Corps in its tracks late on the afternoon of September 17. Perhaps it is time to consider the role of the massed Confederate batteries gathered by Robert E. Lee and his artillery lieutenants on the Harpers Ferry Road in stopping Burnside’s final attack. Jim Rosebrock, author of Artillery of Antietam will look at the question A.P. or Artillery? – Stopping the Ninth Corps at Antietam.
