		<description><![CDATA[
While chasing one of my boys, Lieutenant Colonel Samuel W. Owen, 3rd Pennsylvania Cavalry, I came on a photograph of him in an unusual setting. It made me think about how few casual or frivolous pictures&#8211;snapshots&#8211;I&#8217;ve can remember seeing among (probably) thousands of American Civil War-era images.
On reflection, this isn&#8217;t surprising.  Due to the [...]]]></description>

Artillery Hell (James Hope, Antietam National Battlefield)
A few days ago I was prompted by a TalkAntietam query to look into the strength of the Federal Artillery at Antietam on 17 September 1862.  In particular, that of the long-range guns overlooking the battlefield from the heights east of Antietam Creek.
Those guns were largely responsible for [...]]]></description>
