The Maps of Antietam
Savas Beatie (Verlag)
978-1-61121-086-6 (ISBN)
This original presentation masterfully leads readers on a journey through the campaign that many historians believe marked the beginning of the end for the Confederacy. Gottfried begins with the position of the opposing armies after the Second Bull Run Campaign before detailing their joint movements into Maryland. Readers will stand with D. H. Hill atop South Mountain as General McClellan tries to force his way through the mountain passes; surround, lay siege to, and capture Harpers Ferry (and ride with Col. Benjamin Davis’s cavalry on its breakout); fight blow-by-blow outside the small town of Sharpsburg (53 maps) through the bloodiest day in American history; retreat from the battlefield; and revisit the final bloodshed spilled at Shepherdstown.
Perfect for the easy chair or for walking hallowed ground, The Maps of Antietam is a seminal work that, like Gottfried’s earlier Gettysburg and First Bull Run studies, belongs on the bookshelf of every serious and casual student of the Civil War.
Bradley M. Gottfried holds a Ph.D. in Zoology from Miami University and worked in higher education for almost four decades as a faculty member and administrator. He serves as a board member of the Central Virginia Battlefield Trust. He and his wife Linda have four children and five grandchildren. Dr. Gottfried is the author of ten books, including Stopping Pickett: The History of the Philadelphia Brigade (1999), Brigades of Gettysburg (2002), Kearny’s Own: The History of the First New Jersey Brigade (2005), and many previous Savas Beatie Military Atlas titles on Gettysburg, First Bull Run, Antietam, Gettysburg Cavalry, Fredericksburg, the Wilderness, and Bristoe Station/Mine Run. Brad is currently finalizing (with Theodore P. Savas) The Gettysburg Campaign Encyclopedia, and is working on his next map atlas.
