520 _a"Antietam National Battlefield, Maryland" by Frederick Tilberg is a historical account published in the mid-20th century, specifically in the 1960s, with subsequent revisions. This book provides a detailed examination of the Battle of Antietam, which occurred on September 17, 1862, and is known as the bloodiest day in American history. It aims to present not only the events of the battle but also the broader implications of this significant conflict in the Civil War. The narrative follows the critical stages of the Battle of Antietam, highlighting key military leaders such as Generals Robert E. Lee and George B. McClellan, and detailing their strategic decisions. It chronicles the series of bloody engagements, from early morning attacks to the climactic clashes at locations like the Sunken Road and Burnside Bridge. The book also explores the consequences of the battle, including the impact it had on military morale, political strategy, and the eventual issuance of the Emancipation Proclamation by President Abraham Lincoln. Tilberg's account emphasizes the heroism and suffering on both sides, coupling historical facts with personal narratives to illustrate the human cost of war.
