Confederate wounded at Smith’s Barn, with Dr. Anson Hurd

Surgeon Anson Hurd of the 14th Indiana Infantry was in charge of a field hospital on the Otho J. Smith Farm near Keedysville, MD after the battle of Antietam in September 1862. His picture here on that farm is from a larger photograph taken by Alexander Gardner – Confederate wounded after the Battle of Antietam, Dr. A. Hurd, 14th Indiana Infantry in attendance – now at the Library of Congress.
