Type : Hardcover In September of 1862, following Confederate General Robert E. Lee’s victory at Second Manassas, the Southern army turned northward in its first great invasion of the Civil War. The opposing Union army was commanded by General George B. McClellan. In the battle which ensued in the fields and woods surrounding Sharpsburg, Maryland, and along Antietam Creek, 26,000 Union and Confederate soldiers were killed or wounded, making September 17, 1862, the bloodiest single day in American history – a distinction which has never been equaled.
With the same analytical skill and meticulous historical research which earned his first book so much critical acclaim, William Frassanito recreates the battle of Antietam through its photographs. By documenting the photographer, date, and camera location for each view, Frassanito provides a definitive report on the Antietam photographs and highlights Antietam’s role as a landmark in the visual documentation of war.
