The LOST ORDER That Led to ANTIETAM!!! | History Traveler 245 Lost Order
The name Antietam will forever be connected with the bloodiest day in U.S. history. We're kicking off a new series in collaboration with Chris from @VloggingThroughHistory on the Battle of Antietam. But before we get to the battlefield, we're taking a few episodes to show the path that led the Union and Confederates to the small Maryland town of Sharpsburg. First, we look at the spot where a lost order from Robert E. Lee was located and put these two armies on a collision course to Antietam Creek. And be sure to subscribe to Vlogging Through History to get a more wholistic view of this battle as we go along.
This episode was produced in partnership with The Gettysburg Museum of History. See how you can support history education & artifact preservation by visiting their website & store at www.gettysburgmuseumofhistory...

We have been watching your episodes for quite some time now and have subscribed. That being said, you're extremely biased against the South and have stated many untruths about her. In this particular episode, you mention that Maryland was a slave state that rejected secession. The Maryland Legislature was very much in favor of secession, but Lincoln had them arrested and jailed. Consider reading Thomas DiLorenzo's book, "The Real Lincoln." You will quickly realize just how many lies have been perpetrated in the government school system about this war, which was not a "Civil War," but a War for Southern Independence. Also consider researching the "Corwin Amendment."

If not in the river , all over the place in the nearby town of Poolesville. There was a large encampment there to protect the river crossing and, as part of it, the capital. They blasted for a new development in the early 90s and found all kinds of stuff. . The town was passed back and forth between the two armies the entire war. Lee also got annoyed at the female residents of the town because they were flirting with the troops. It was a great area to grow up in and be a history buff, because there is so much history in town and we were an hour from gettysburg and right down from Frederick and all this history. Grew up knowing about Barbara Fritchie.

The British fired a few cannon at the Americans from the lake to harass them on their way back from Stoney Creek to captured Fort George.

@Cary West my family wore the gray! He was in Georgia Co. K 128th. They were known as the Emanuel Rangers. It was my gg-grandfather and his brother. Henry Frank Joiner and Thomas Bailey Joiner. Thomas died of small pox in Gordonsville, Virginia. I managed to find where his grave is and let them know he indeed had family that cared. I put a marker down. I do believe Henry Frank is buried in the Hollywood Cemetery in Richmond, although I can't prove it. I have done extensive research, and I'm very proud of my ancestors. I know what kind of backbone they had. I don't say a lot because you see.....I have the same backbone. I will not tolerate someone putting them down or judging them. They did what they thought was best. Thats it. I realized that I could start a whole new civil war with my beliefs. But I'm not going to do that. I'm not going to allow anyone to destroy their memories. As for the left. No one has done anything to stop them. No one did anything about the rigged election. Not even the Supreme Court.

Back in the 1990's my husband and I crossed the Potomac on the ferry at White's Ferry quite often. I am saddened to learn that it may not reopen because the owner of the land on the Virginia side will not agree to letting them land there and won't accept a generous offer to buy the landing area, and/or the entire farm. So sad a piece of history may be lost. There are very few ferries in operation in the US.

You brought levity to historically tragic events with that comment about the Porta Potty. Many people have no idea about how people relieved themselves and disposed of the excrement. A soldier in combat under fire , enemy observation , threat of being shot by snipers might be forced “ mess their Britches” if not doing it as a reflex under fire. Speaking with My uncles and other war veterans I often heard such stories. One Of a couple who had seen action in North Africa and at Kasserine Pass Tunisia recounted the first experience of being targeted by the German 88. How men would load their pants and run blind with fear off of cliffs and impale themselves on broken tree limbs in the pitch black darkness of the desert nights. Using fox hole and trenches and those previously occupied by others. Old time farmer’s and sharecropper’s in the days before flush toilet’s and sewer systems would dig a bit over which a simple boxlike structure with a door was built on skids or heavy timber’s . Inside might be a simple plank with a hole . After doing ones duty they would wipe with old news paper , rag soft leaves or whatever best suited the purpose. If slack lime were available some could be sprinkled on the mess. When the pile in the hole grew high the outhouse could be moved over and the previous hole covered over with earth. The whole subject of latrines and military sanitation is a subject in itself. Consider that More Men died from Sickness than actual combat. A good example was featured in the movie The Missouri Breaks when the horse thief “ Regulator” played by Marlon Brando shot a horse thief at long distance while He sat in the outhouse.

As a history teacher, I would like to correct you on one thing. The porta-potty is a period piece. The Army of Virginia, under Stonewall Jackson, would travel with mobile privies due to Jackson's obsession with hygiene. As a matter of fact, Jackson was walking to one such toilet when he was shot in the arm and of course later died. The Union forces called the confederate toilets, "rebel johns", which later morphed into the term, "Johnny Reb".
