Completed in the early 1900s, The Maryland Campaign of September
1862 is still the essential source for anyone seeking understanding
of the bloodiest day in all of American history. As the U.S. War
Department's official expert on the Battle of Antietam, Ezra Carman
corresponded with and interviewed hundreds of other veterans from
both sides of the conflict to produce a comprehensive history of
the campaign that dashed the Confederacy's best hope for
independence and ushered in the Emancipation Proclamation.
Nearly a century after its completion, Carman's manuscript has
finally made its way into print, in an attractively packaged
one-volume edition painstakingly edited, annotated, and indexed by
Joseph Pierro. This edition, the first to publish the entire Carman
manuscript, including the fifteen appendices, is designed for ease
of use, with standardized punctuation and spelling, and
conveniently footnoted explanations wherever necessary. The
Maryland Campaign of September 1862 is a crucial document for
anyone interested in delving below the surface of the military
campaign that forever altered the course of American history, and
is still the only complete edition of Carman's work on the
market.
**Due to an unfortunate case of mistaken identity, the man
currently appearing in the frontispiece of The Maryland Campaign of
September, 1862 is not the actual Ezra Carman, but someone who
looks remarkably similar to him. The real Mr. Carman can be found
at: http: //www.loc.gov/pictures/item/cwp2003001783/PP/. We
apologize for the mistake, and will correct this error in further
printings.
