Soldier’s bones found at Civil War site

SHARPSBURG, Md. — Cutting through a cornfield where soldiers were literally blown to bits on the bloodiest day of the Civil War, a hiker spied something near a groundhog hole: fragments of bone and a metal button, clotted with red clay.
He brought the remains to the visitors center at Antietam National Battlefield, where they were turned over to experts who made a stunning discovery: They belonged to a Union soldier from New York.
The remarkable find 146 years after the soldier perished is a reminder that the battlefield at Antietam is “ground that was basically changed forever by what happened on it,” Superintendent John W. Howard said Thursday.
