I recently had a professor ridicule both Lee and McClellan for failing to entrench at Antietam.
Much can be revealed by a visit to the battlefield. I hope to see you all this battle anniversary weekend!

To "entrench" In the academic sense, perhaps
.
I recently had a professor ridicule both Lee and McClellan for failing to entrench at Antietam.
Though, in this rocky place, what good six-inch deep trenches would have been is beyond me.
Much can be revealed by a visit to the battlefield. I hope to see you all this battle anniversary weekend!

Looks like some of that Conococheque and Elbrook Limestone that underlies the battlefield.
Rocks were the first thing to cross my mind, even before I scrolled down to see your picture! Wonder if your professor has ever been on the battlefield?
