The Maryland campaign of September 1862 ranks among the most important military operations of the American Civil War. Crucial political, diplomatic, and military issues were at stake as Robert E. Lee and George B. McClellan maneuvered and fought in the western part of the state. The climactic clash came on September 17 at the battle of Antietam, where more than 23,000 men fell in the single bloodiest day of the war. Approaching topics related to Lee's and McClellan's operations from a variety of perspectives, contributors to this volume explore questions regarding military leadership, strategy, and tactics, the impact of the fighting on officers and soldiers in both armies, and the ways in which participants and people behind the lines interpreted and remembered the campaign. They also discuss the performance of untried military units and offer a look at how the United States Army used the Antietam battlefield as an outdoor classroom for its officers in the early twentieth century. The contributors are William A. Blair, Keith S. Bohannon, Peter S. Carmichael, Gary W. Gallagher, Lesley J. Gordon, D. Scott Hartwig, Robert E. L. Krick, Robert K. Krick, Carol Reardon, and Brooks D. Simpson.

This volume narrates the major battles and campaigns of the conflict, conveying the full military experience during the Civil War. The military encounters between Union and Confederate soldiers and between both armies and irregular combatants and true non-combatants structured the four years of war. These encounters were not solely defined by violence, but military encounters gave the war its central architecture. Chapters explore well-known battles, such as Antietam and Gettysburg, as well as military conflict in more abstract places, defined by political qualities (like the border or the West) or physical ones (such as rivers or seas). Chapters also explore the nature of civil-military relations as Union armies occupied parts of the South and garrison troops took up residence in southern cities and towns, showing that the Civil War was not solely a series of battles but a sustained process that drew people together in more ambiguous settings and outcomes.

Excerpt from The Battle of Harlem Heights, September 16, 1776: With a Review of the Events of the Campaign What we have come to know as the "Battle of Harlem Heights" was one of those minor successes in our Revolutionary War which counted for much in stimulating the drooping spirits of the American soldier or in effectually disturbing the plans of the enemy. That Washington should speak of it as having cheered his men "prodigiously" during an otherwise depressing campaign would alone excite our interest in its details. If it cannot be quite classed with such happy strokes as Bennington or Oriskany, or with Stony Point or Cowpens or King's Mountain, it had at least a special place and significance of its own. We seem bound to appreciate it as highly as the records show it to have been appreciated by the men of the time. It was a stirring open-field affair, coming as a surprise and a check upon the enemy's pride, and calling out that recuperative power and manly courage of the as yet untrained Continental, which, with added experience, will stand him in good stead all through the Revolution. Not since Lexington and Concord, seventeen months before, had he enjoyed a chase of the regulars. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
