Overview of the Battle of Antietam, 6 A.M. The Cornfield is slightly left of center.

Miller's Cornfield (usually referred to as 'the Cornfield') is a section of the Antietam battlefield of the American Civil War.

It is remembered as the site of some of the most savage fighting of the Battle of Antietam, which itself was the bloodiest single-day action of the Civil War. The Union and Confederates fought in the cornfield, many being wounded. [1]
