Bucharest is a city of contrasts. Not one hundred yars away from a bright and shiny, all-glass office building façade, one can often spot scenes like this: a row of utterly delapidated houses on the verge of collapsing, even in the very heart of the city.

The brigade was not heavily engaged at Antietam and suffered only light losses. Three days earlier at Crampton’s Gap, First Lieutenant George Hooker of the 4th Vermont earned the Medal of Honor by singlehandedly capturing a Confederate major and over 100 men, as well as their regiment’s colors.
