1862 Explosion at the Allegheny Arsenal
On the same day of the battle of Antietam, 78 residents of the Lawrenceville, Pennsylvania area, died in the worst civilian disaster of the U.S. Civil War- most of them women, some of them just children. But the disaster was nearly forgotten in the shadow of the battle, and the demands of war. The History Guy remembers the 1862 Explosion at the Allegheny Arsenal.
