U.S.A. Second Army Corps, commanded by Maj. Gen. Edwin V. Sumner, advanced from South Mountain on September 15 and 16, 1862. Richardson's Division, preceded by the 5th New Hampshire as skirmishers, led the infantry advance on the morning of September 15 and reached this point early in the afternoon, with the skirmishers engaging those of the enemy beyond the Antietam. Sedgwick's and French's Divisions passed through Keedysville late in the day and bivouacked in the fields west of that place.
