Reviews

[Betsy · Rating 4 out of 5]

Basically this book is a timeline of the Antietam Campaign. It starts from shortly before so it includes the Hapers Ferry battles, then moves on to South Mountain, and finally the great battle itself. It provides facts as well as personal material on the combatants. If you know little about the battle, it's a good start, but certainly isn't meant to be a serious study. What it does, it does well, but there many excellent books out there, which present the whole picture.

Interesting sequence of events notes with sketched maps. Good for what it is. No context.
Autographed.
