The stone observatory on the Bloody lane is now finished and ready for visitors. The view from this point alone is worth a visit to the famous Bloody lane as you can take in the entire right to the left nearly four miles. There will be, when all planted, nearly four hundred markers, giving one a good idea of the entire battle field with the advantage of the good roads. Every body ought to visit it and make a study of this great battle.

Sharpsburg's scribe, O.T. Reilly, wrote thousands of short news items in the local Sharpsburg papers between 1887 and 1942. These are some of my favorite examples.
