"America's bloodiest day"--the Battle of Antietam on September 17,
1862--left more dead American soldiers in its wake than any other
24-hour period in history. Antietam and the related battles of the
Maryland Campaign that led up to the lethal confrontation did not
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 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--help bring the battles to life.
In the field, these guides can be used to recreate each battle's
setting and proportions, giving the reader a sense of the tension
and fear each soldier must have felt as he faced his enemy.
