Battle of Sharpsburg (Antietam)

From the monument to the battery at Antietam on the Harpers Ferry Road:

The Battery under the command of Capt. William F. Dement occupied a position in the field in the rear of this marker. The monument to the Maryland troops is near the Dunkard Church.

There is evidence that this is incorrect and that the battery was not one of the two batteries of Ewell’s Division that made it across the Potomac and onto the field.
