Overview
Roads to Antietam is the story of the armies marching to battle in September 1862 and what that experience was like for the men in the ranks and the civilians along the routes. Clouds of dust, marching men, the rumble of wagons, and the late summer heat and haze added to the noise and confusion of hundreds of units snaking their way up from Virginia and the camps around Washington, D.C. Soldiers from the North and South wondered where they were going as they marched along the roads of Maryland. What would Lee do? What was McClellan's plan? Frederick and Hagerstown lay ahead, but what was beyond? None of them could anticipate their bloody meeting in the fields around Sharpsburg, Maryland, on the banks of Antietam Creek. This book depicts the feelings and actions of those who participated in those stirring events of the Maryland Campaign.Book Details
