Description
|
|
|
|
September 17, 1862, was the single bloodiest day in American military history; in a 12-hour battle fought between Sharpsburg, Maryland, and Antietam Creek, the Union and Confederacy together suffered 23,000 casualties. This guide describes the people and events behind the Battle of Antietam. An introduction discusses the history and preservation of the present site, while two fold-out maps show the battle plan—published soon after the event, with a handwritten from J.E.B. Stuart to his commander Robert E. Lee—and the Antietam National Battlefield today. This guidebook to a key site in American history takes visitors through the physical landscape that exists now and also to the places no longer visible. Color and black and white photos and illustrations appear on nearly every two-page spread, and the book includes a timeline, brief biographies of key figures, and a historical walking tour, along with nearby places to stay, eat, and visit.
