Step, if you dare, forward towards the front

Walk Through the Fields and Lanes at Antietam Like They Did

We are a dynamic local outfit providing exceptional tours about the events of September 17, 1862.

Below is a two-minute video clip of the 1989 American historical war drama “Glory,” which tells the real-life story of Robert Gould Shaw, who was wounded at Antietam. The actor Matthew Broderick plays the role of Shaw in the video. Shaw went on to be promoted to colonel to lead one of the first all-Black regiments in the Union Army, leading to a direct assault on Fort Wagner in South Carolina one year after Antietam. The video shows Union soldiers attacking Confederate front lines at Antietam Creek, ultimately repulsed by heavy fire.

“They couldn’t drive a nail into me.”

The words of Union General Joseph Hooker who led multiple concerted attacks against the Confederate front lines along a part of the battlefield known as Bloody Lane. The Confederates used the sunken road as a natural defense barrier. Union troops kept lurching forward, but they could not break through the lines because of heavy Confederate infantry and artillery fire.

The Battle of Antietam on September 17, 1862, led to 23,000 casualties (killed, wounded and missing in action), the highest number recorded in one day in American military history.

Welcome to Buss Reports Digital Marketing

In 2024, I completed an intensive 18-week Digital Marketing Bootcamp with Columbia University. I created this website to display my web site design skills, which features a fictional tour guide company that provides tours of one of the most sacred grounds on American soil–The Antietam National Battlefield.

In addition, I led a cohort of four colleagues to create a digital marketing campaign for a fictional non-profit offering a variety of services in the South Bronx, New York.
