Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

The American Civil War Battle of Antietam was fought at Sharpsburg, Maryland on September 17, 1862. It is considered to be the bloodiest day in American history although it lasted only a single day. The estimated casualties were 22,717 men killed, injured, or missing in the battle. "Antietam Remembered" is a compilation of human interest stories about the civilians and soldiers whose lives were changed by the Battle of Antietam. First person accounts record grim details of the horrors of war including the wanton destruction of property, armed robbery, horse-thieving, murder and the grizzly job of treating the sick and wounded in make-shift hospitals organized in homes and barns with few medical supplies available to ease their discomfort.
