This 8½x11" book, written by Steven R. Stotelmyer (1992) reveals the aftermath of the bloodiest single day in American history. This book illustrates the concern and indifference shown by the burial details toward both friend and foe alike. The author presents not only a collection of human interest stories about those killed in action, but a comprehensive description of the burial process that could apply to any major Civil War battle. Because the Federal Government did not allow Rebel soldiers to be buried in Antietam National Cemetery, Confederate cemeteries were established at Hagerstown and Frederick in Maryland and at Shepherdstown in West Virginia. Included are histories of these cemeteries, including a complete roster with name, rank, unit and marker number, plus additional information when available. 160 pages with 53 photographs and 6 maps. |
