Description:
The First Texas Infantry Regiment was part of General John Bell Hood’s vaunted and hard-fighting Texas Brigade. During the battle of Antietam, (Sharpsburg) Maryland on the morning of September 17, 1862: after not having eaten in days, the First Texas Infantry participated in a ferocious counter-attack into the Cornfield owned by David R. Miller. After pushing through to the northern portion of the cornfield, they were caught in a crossfire between Union infantry small arms and Artillery batteries. In a matter of minutes, men were cut-down by the dozens, and the Texas regiment lost 186 men of the 226 engaged. They also lost both of their colors: one of which was a large Texas state flag made entirely of silk, they carried into the battle. The First Texas lost thirteen color bearers in this assault. When asked later that morning as to current location and condition of his brigade, General Hood could only answer simply they were: “Dead on the field.”
