The quotes listed here are from the Battle of Antietam and the days immediately leading up to and following the battle. It is organized generally chronology with events of September 17, 1862 organized by locatios on the battlefield. At the end, there are some special categories of quotations on such subjects as artillery, civilians, medical care, and rookie regiments. This article does not include quotations from the Maryland Campaign. That is a separate post that will appear shortly entitled Maryland Campaign. I am very much still in the early phase of trying to post my list of quotes, now numbering over 2,400 in the most meaningful fashion. Each passage begins with the quote, who made it, the date if known, any other background about the quote, the regiment of individual if known and if they were in the army, the book or reference where I found the quote, and if that quote was footnoted in the reference, and other reference.
