THE PATH The Path is a walkway, a very narrow lane Between where we are and where we are going. It is unique for everyone who wants to grow. It is dynamic for each one who wants life to flow. We peel away the layers of our life’s story and begin to learn who we are and what we’re meant …
THE MARYLAND CAMPAIGN OF 1862: THROUGH ARKANSAS EYES When Ransom’s Brigade of Walker’s Division joined with the McLaw’s Division at the south of the West Woods, they hit the 5500 man Union Division under General Sedgwich.

I watched the Ken Burns documentary on The Civil War in 1992 and of all the battles discussed the Battle of Antietam …
Bloody Lane We all had now entered that blood lust: the bane of the human mind. We cared for only killing though outnumbered all down the line. We screamed our Rebel Yell and called to our Gods of War. We were no longer in the Christian Mode. We were men of Odin and Thor.
The Bloody Lane On September 12-14, 1997, the 135th Antietam reenactment was held at the Artz Farm about 8 miles north of the actual battlefield and just about 1 mile south of Interstate 70. Battle reenactments can’t be held on National Military Parks because it is considered Hallowed Ground. However, the actual reenactment battle site was huge. At the time …
