Fought in and around the small farming community of Sharpsburg; Maryland on September 17; 1862; the Civil War Battle of Antietam produced more casualties in one day than any other single day in American military history. With roughly 23;000 combined casualties from both the Army of Northern Virginia and the Army of the Potomac; a man was killed or wounded every two seconds for eleven straight hours...In Civil Warscapes: Antietam; Images from the 17th of September; Matthew A. Holzman presents the scenic locations where these monumental events occurred. Events that forever changed the course of American history. A vivid characteristic about this companion is that all included photos were actually taken on the anniversary of the battle. This feature allows one to experience the landscape with quite literally the same vegetation and foliage that thousands of Union and Confederate soldiers did when the guns opened up here over one hundred and fifty years ago. Overall; this work is meant to provide a short but detailed history of the battle and serve as a traveling field aid for both the casual and serious visitor to the site. Stories of the farmsteads and the chronology of troop movements in key locations are highlights. Different perspectives of the varying terrain around the Cornfield; Bloody Lane; and Burnside Bridge are all included.

From the lack of weight in my bag to the ability to access it on all my devices; I honestly don't know why I was reluctant to go digital before!
