i live probably 15 miles away from antietam battlefield (where one of the bloodiest battles of the american civil war ocurred) i can remember going on a field trip there when i was about 4. they told us about Bloody Lane. I was really scared to go there. I thought there would actually be blood everywhere...but confused and somewhat disappointed to find that it was now a bloodless paved walkway.
