Walk through the battlefield of Antietam with those who fought there

The Battle of Antietam, waged on September 17, 1862, marked the bloodiest single day's fighting in American history. Five days later, President Abraham Lincoln issued the preliminary Emancipation Proclamation. This book brings you face-to-face as never before with the people and events that shaped this epic event. It features:

- An introduction discussing the history and preservation of the present-day site

- A timeline that adds further texture to the history described

- Concise biographies of key participants

- A historical tour

- Where to stay and eat, and places to visit nearby

- Archival and color photos throughout

- Two PopOut maps—an archival map showing the battle as it unraveled, and another showing the same location today
