SHARPSBURG, Md. — Park officials say a visitor has found the remains of a Civil War soldier at the Antietam National Battlefield in western Maryland.
Battlefield Park Superintendent John Howard says a visitor found bone fragments and a uniform button near a groundhog hole in October.
During an excavation last month, workers led by a National Park Service archaeologist found more bone fragments, buttons and a belt buckle establishing that the young man was from New York state.
