[edit] Edit July 30

I am running out of time to do the research, but I don't think the paragraph describing the contents of the order is accurate. The order was really about the Harpers Ferry operation and the other parts of the army movement were subsidiary. And the concentration at Sharpsburg happened after Lee realized his plans were revealed. BTW, the link to military order doesn't go where someone thought. :-) Hal Jespersen 13:26, 30 July 2006 (UTC)

I changed the text to reflect the text of the order, which indeed was concerned with the investment of Harpers Ferry and the army's role in supporting that action. I also changed Barton Mitchell's rank to Corp. (most contemporary historians have it wrong, according to NPS park rangers at Antietam that I have consulted). Scott Mingus 16:23, 30 July 2006 (UTC)
