Here sits Colonel T. G. Morehead, who commanded the 106th Pennsylvania, of
the Second Corps. At 7.20 A.M. the order came to advance, and with a cheer
the Second Corps--men who for over two years had never lost a gun nor
struck a color--pressed forward. But again they were halted. It was almost
an hour later when Sedgwick's division, with Sumner at the head, crossed
the Antietam. Arriving nearly opposite the Dunker church, it swept out
over the cornfields. On it went, by Greene's right, through the West
Woods; here it met the awful counter-stroke of Early's reënforced division
and, stubbornly resisting, was hurled back with frightful loss.
