Battle Echoes at Antietam and Wagner Fight Recalled
W A Johnson of Company D recalls Civil War trials at Antietam in 1862 and a later bombardment on Morris Island. He describes Jackson studying Union lines, night marches, and a perilous river crossing, then details the July 7 1863 attack on Fort Wagner with monitors and heavy artillery. The narrative blends personal memory with battlefield drama and figures from Confederate and Union forces.
