{"product_id":"2940013964334","title":"Antietam National Battlefield","description":"The Battle of Antietam has been called the bloodiest single day in American History. By the end of the evening, 17 September 1862, an estimated 4,000 American soldiers had been killed and over 18,000 wounded in and around the small farming community of Sharpsburg, Maryland.  Emory Upton, then a captain with the Union artillery battery, later wrote, \"I have heard of 'the dead lying in heaps,' but never saw it till this battle. Whole ranks fell together.\" \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe battle had been a day of confusion, tactical blunders, individual heroics, and the effects of just plain luck. It brought to an end a Confederate campaign to \"liberate\" the border state of Maryland and possibly take the war into Pennsylvania. A little more than one hundred and forty years later, the Antietam battlefield is one of the best-preserved Civil War battlefields in the National Park System.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRespected civil war historian and author Frederick Tilberg will take you on a thrilling ride through the events of the day in this official National Park Service Guide\u003cbr\u003e.\u003cbr\u003eNewly reformatted for the Nook, this edition is packed with photographs and maps, setting the stage of the battle with visual impact, and bringing the characters to life.
