Double Attack at South Mountain Maryland is widely known as a very beautiful place on the east side of North America, but to some it is known as the place where the Battle of South Mountain was fought. One deadly morning on September 14, 1862, General McClellan of the Union side and General Lee of the Confederate side raged a battle at Turner's Gap and Crampton's Gap.
