The Battle of Antietam stands out as the single bloodiest day's combat in American history. More people were killed or injured on September 17, 1862, than any other day in our nation's entire history. With 23,000 casualties it is understandable that this single event tends to take the spotlight in the Maryland Campaign of 1862. However, Robert E. Lee did not begin crossing the Potomac on September 4. 1862, just so he could fight at Sharpsburg 13 days later with his back to that same river. From Frederick to Sharpsburg sheds light on some of the other participants and events long obscured in the shadow cast by America's bloodiest day.From Frederick to Sharpsburg: People, Places, and Events of the Maryland Campaign Before Antietam, will make a welcomed addition to the library of any student of Antietam, the Maryland Campaign, or the Civil War.

Volume IV of The Antietam Journal contains articles about the Battle of South Mountain, George B. McClellan in the Maryland Campaign, command turnover in the Maryland Campaign, Sharpsburg's civilians, veteran's reunions, and more.
