Monument to the 14th Indiana Infantry Regiment at Antietam
About the monument
The monument is made from a block of Barre, Vermont Granite. A bronze tablet is inset into the slightly sloped top. Sculptor John K. Lowell designed all of the Indiana monuments at Antietam. The J. N. Forbes Company of Chambersburg, Pennsylvania did the manufacturing. The monuments were dedicated on September 17, 1910, the 48th anniversary of the battle.
The 14th Indiana Infantry at Antietam
The 14th Indiana Infantry attacked the center of the Sunken Road in the morning of the battle. The intense firefight lasted four hours, costing the regiment over half its 320 men killed and wounded. It changed front at one point with the 8th Ohio Infantry to drive off an attempted Confederate flank attack, using ammunition scavenged from the dead and wounded. By noon the Confederates withdrew, and the 14th Indiana held their position until nightfall under artillery fire.
Colonel William Harrow commanded the 14th Indiana Infantry at Antietam. He grew up in Kentucky and practiced law in Illinois before moving to Indiana. While in Illinois he became an associate of Abraham Lincoln for several years. Harrow became captain of a militia company in Indiana, and when the 14th Indiana Infantry was formed he became its major. He was promoted to colonel after the Battle of Kernstown. Accusations of drunkenness after that battle led to his brief resignation, but his political connections led to his quick reinstatement. Harrow would eventually be promoted to brigadier general and even achieved command of divisions. But he would be dogged by problems with his leadership and his sobriety. He was transferred to the west after Gettysburg, and after the Atlanta Campaign in September of 1864 was without a command.
