With only a small force, but holding higher ground, Lee's men were able to defend this crucial Antietam Crossing for nearly three hours. Union General Ambrose Burnside's men launched a series of attacks to break the bottleneck at the bridge. About 1 p.m., the Confederates, outflanked, outnumbered and running low on ammunition, began to retreat. The Yankees stormed the bridge, finally crossing Antietam Creek.
