Thank you,
One of the Regiments that he held in reserve was the 17th New York Infantry. Several companies had men from my area in it. They were by the middle bridge. One of the reasons why they were in reserve was because they got shot up very badly at 2nd Manassas. The 17th NYV lost over 200 men as they charged toward Jackson's troops at the RR cut. So they caught a break at Antietam.
