Book Talk: "I Dread the Thought of the Place: The Battle of Antietam and the End of the Maryland Campaign," by D. Scott Hartwig



Join Historian D. Scott Hartwig for Insights on the Battle of Antietam in Virtual Book Talk

May 15, 2025. 7:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m.

In this definitive account, historian D. Scott Hartwig chronicles the single bloodiest day in American history, which resulted in 23,000 casualties. The Battle of Antietam marked a vital turning point in the war: afterward, the conflict could no longer be understood as a limited war to preserve the Union, but was now clearly a conflict over slavery. Join the author for a detailed look at the battle based on decades of research. D. Scott Hartwig is a retired supervisory historian at the Gettysburg National Military Park and the author of “To Antietam Creek” (2012).
