Lincoln visits Antietam battlefield amid grim aftermath
In 1862 President Lincoln arrived at Sharpsburg on October 3 with Gen. McClelland, touring the newly hallowed Antietam site. He traveled by railroad to Frederick, escorted by John W. Garrett of the B&O Railroad and Army ambulance Joe Sharpsburg, as abandoned cannon filled the scene and the stench of death hung in the air. Ten days prior he had issued the preliminary Emancipation Proclamation, promising freedom to slaves in Confederate-held territory after January 1, 1863. A month later, with Gen. McClellan not resuming the campaign, Lincoln replaced him with Gen. Ambrose Burnside.
