For the first six months with a 2-year service agreement. By Lynn Anderson Tribune Newspapers SHARPSBURG, bronze statue of Gen. Robert E. Lee has stood on a grassy knoll above the Antietam battlefield for several months. But furor over the statue, which some say is historically inaccurate, has yet to fade, despite support from the National Park Service, which manages the nearby Civil War site.

The statue erected by Anne Arundel County millionaire William Chaney, who says he is a descendant of the Confederate leader, is at the center of a court battle pitting Washington County residents against the outsider with different views on historic preservation and interpretation. would say it is one of the best statues up said Chaney, a resident of Lothian, who bought a chunk of the Antietam battlefield, outbidding the National Park Service, in 1999. Since then, he has turned an old farmhouse on the property into a museum. The Lee statue stands nearby. have had not a negative comment from anyone except for that little Accuracy questioned That is the 700 or so members of the Save Historic Antietam Foundation, which has retained a lawyer and filed an appeal in Circuit Court to bring down the 24-foot statue.

Members say Lee never stood on the hill, although he might have passed through the area before the battle on Sept. 17, 1862. They are appealing on technical grounds, but have a larger point to make. Opponents, including several well-known Civil War historians, worry that the Lee statue will set a precedent of private parties erecting monuments on private lands that were part of the battlefield. Most of the land around the national park is protected from development, but owners have the right to build statues.

Bruce Poole, a lawyer who represents Chaney, said the spat about the statue has surprised some residents because the Lee monument fits in well with other statues at the battlefield. Lee on horseback not as though it is a very gaudy he said. have to remind people that Mr.

He is entitled to put up a Civil War statue on a Civil War The battle at Antietam was one of the bloodiest of the war, resulting in the deaths of more than 5,000 Union and Confederate soldiers. Today, the battlefield looks much as it did in the 1860s, with cozy farmhouses and rambling barns. The statue of astride his favorite mount, easily visible amid the rural tableau. said Tom Clemens, president of the Save Historic Antietam Foundation and a professor of history at Hagerstown Community College, of the representation of Lee and his horse.

Clemens said Lee did not ride on horseback much while in the Sharpsburg area because he had recently broken one wrist and sprained the other. Clemens takes issue with Chaney, a proud Confederate son who erected a statue of Confederate soldier Benjamin Welch Owens in Lothian in 1999. The professor said Chaney is trying to recast history by placing the statue in an area of the battlefield that was controlled by the Union during the clash. there is an agenda Clemens said. A tour of Newcomer House Civil War Museum makes clear where the sympathies lie.

The museum is divided into two rooms, one for each army. The Confederate side includes a lock of hair and a letter he wrote to the people of Maryland before his troops crossed into the state. There also is bookstore with Confederate-flag key chains, T- shirts and commemorative plates. Leo Caradori, a self-described Yankee from New York whom Chaney hired to manage the museum and bookstore, said most of those who visit the Newcomer House go to the Confederate side first. He reminds visitors that the Union side is also interesting, especially because it contains one of a small batch of verified original copies of the Emancipation Proclamation.

Most Washington County locals acknowledge that Chaney has done a good job of restoring the farmhouse, which was built in the 1790s. Chaney said he spent about $500,000 to renovate the structure, which he bought several years ago for $300,000, outbidding the park service. has done a fabulous said John Howard, superintendent of the Antietam National Battlefield. would not have gotten to it as quickly as he did if we had bought it. It would not have been high on our to-do list.

We have other buildings that are more significant to the core of the One of those buildings is a barn Chaney purchased as part of the 101-acre Newcomer farm. Recently, Chaney sold the barn and 50 acres to the park service, which is stabilizing the wooden structure and surveying it. Howard said the barn was used as a hospital for Union soldiers after the battle. Newcomer farm represents a big part of the landscape of the said Howard, who expects renovation of the barn to cost about $800,000. we get the barn back up, and with the work that Mr.

Chaney has done on the house, we will have a great entrance to the national Chaney planned three statues at the Newcomer House: Lee, and Gens. J.E.B. Stuart and Thomas J. Jackson, to the number of Union and Confederate monuments at Antietam. Of the park 104 monuments, four are Confederate, and the agency has had a moratorium on new monuments since 1991.

But when park officials complained, Chaney scaled back his plans. have tried to work with said Chaney, 57, who was able to erect the Lee statue despite the moratorium because it is outside national park boundaries. would like to move on and put this behind me. only are we going to fight Chaney said, we are going to Baltimore Sun Baltimore Sun photo by Amy Davis Leo Caradori, manager of a nearby museum, stands in front of controversial Robert E.

The percentage of college- educated scientists and engineers who are working in the United States but were born elsewhere jumped from 14 per- cent in 1990 to 22 percent in 2000, afoundation study of workforce trends reported Wednesday. The study also found that of professionals with doctorates in science and engineering who were working in the United States, almost 40 percent were foreign born in 2000, compared with 24 percent in 1990. The study was issued by the National Science Board, the governing body.
