Description

“The united states’s bloodiest day”—the Battle of Antietam on September 17, 1862—left more dead American soldiers in its wake than every other 24-hour period in history. Antietam and the related battles of the Maryland Campaign that led as much as the lethal disagreement didn’t result in decisive defeats for either side. But they did serve as a brutal warning to an out-gunned, out-commanded, and out-organized Union army.

Eyewitness accounts by battle participants make these guides an invaluable resource for travelers and nontravelers who want a greater understanding of five of probably the most devastating yet influential years in our nation’s history. Explicit directions to points of interest and maps—illustrating the action and showing the detail of troop position, roads, rivers, elevations, and tree lines as they were 130 years ago—assist bring the battles to life. In the field, these guides can be utilized to recreate each and every battle’s setting and proportions, giving the reader a sense of the tension and fear each and every soldier will have to have felt as he faced his enemy.
