    Not sure about how it all went, but according to my map of Sharpsburg Hood's Texans were behind Jackson's frontline, at the Dunker Church. They were cooking breakfast when the battle broke on them without warning. Jackson got whacked by the combined attack of Hooker, Mansfield and Sumner, and driven back through the cornfield, but the Union people came up just in time to meet Hood coming the other way and they got beaten back. To quote Shelby Foote, 'It was Hood; Jackson had called for him while his men were preparing their first hot meal in days, and perhaps that had something to do with the violence of the assault.'

    Interesting. Quite a fight it was, too.
