This is a view that a defender from Toombs' brigade would have seen as he shot at the men of the Union's Ninth Corps as they tried to cross the Rohrbach (Burnside) bridge. It seems to me that men coming across that bridge would be easy pickings and have no chance of making it. Considering this almost impregnable defensive position, it appears to me that it was almost impossible to cross that bridge without the assistance of the flanking brigades who later crossed Antietam Creek at Snavely's Ford. If those flanking brigades had not arrived and the Rebels were able to resupply their ammunition, was it possible to take that bridge?
