It was very helpful in understanding what was at stake in the Battle of Antietam, and the role and preparation Michigan soldiers had in this battle as I had a great great uncle, Robert Fleming, of the 17th Michigan Volunteer Infantry, in that battle who is said to have carried a fallen comrade from between enemy lines to safety at the Battle of Antietam, and to have fought at the Battle of South Mountain. Robert Fleming was from near Adrian and following the Civil War lived near Shelby in Oceana County. Some of the Adams family living in the Shelby area are among his descendents. George Fleming, South Haven, Michigan.
You are there with the Michigan units at the Battle of Antietam in this book. Battles are hard to describe because of the action and confusion happening all at once. Jack and Brian have done a superb job in guiding the reader through the bloodiest day in American history. There has never been a book written about Michigan in this pivotal battle. There won’t have to be another one. It’s all here.Rick LiblongAuthor of “Answering the Call to Duty…”
An absolutely compelling read about an epic turning point in American history. The pivotal role of Michiganders in the battle of Antietam is revealed through excellent research and storytelling. This is a book for more than Civil War enthusiasts. Anyone interested in a battle that contributed critically to the end of slavery will be entertained and informed.
A truly amazing collection of facts and stories! Brilliantly written and narrated!
