The Lower Battlefield of Antietam by Robert M Dunkerly

An Untold Story of a Historic Battle While Antietam remains one the most famous engagements of the Civil War, history largely overlooks the lower end of the battlefield. Only here did the Confederates use Antietam Creek as a barrier, so it was the only place where Union troops had to force their way across. Here the Union army waged its final attack, and the Confederates launched their last counterattack led by A.P. Hills division. It might as well have been a different battle entirely from the more famed northern field. Using dozens of journals, diaries, newspaper accounts and reports, author Robert M. Dunkerly examines the action in detail and explores the gradual preservation of this oft-neglected portion of Americas bloodiest battle.
