Book Synopsis Guide to the Battle of Antietam, the Maryland Campaign of 1862 by : Jay Luvaas
Download or read book Guide to the Battle of Antietam, the Maryland Campaign of 1862 written by Jay Luvaas. This book was released on 1996. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "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.

Book excerpt: "By the middle of 1862, both sides in the American Civil War had fought many skirmishes, engagements, and battles, mostly in Virginia and Tennessee. For Confederate General Robert E. Lee, the only way to possibly achieve victory was to take a significant risk. Lee took that risk with his movement across the Potomac River into Maryland. If successful, his army could advance toward Washington, DC and claim victory. Fought on September 17, 1862 near Sharpsburg, MD, the battle of Antietam was the bloodiest day in US military history, with about 23,000 casualties. Although the battle was inconclusive, it was a strategic victory for the Union, as it halted-for a year, anyway-Lee's invasion of the North"--
