behind AotW

Dang. I’ve been under a rock the last two months.

Proof?

How many blogs are there with “Antietam” in the name? Well now there are two.

Man-about-Sharpsburg Stephen Recker has begun his own in conjunction with his Virtual Antietam site.

Among his many other connections to the battle, Stephen is an infamous collector of related photographs and reunion ephemera. He’s posted a couple of pieces already, among them this ribbon from the 1891 reunion of the 130th Pennsylvania Infantry at Sharpsburg. I’m looking forward to more!

Sorry to take so long to find your new blog Stephen, and welcome to the ‘sphere. If I had known you were coming, I’d have baked a cake.
