Steven Cowie's \u003ci\u003eWhen Hell Came to Sharpsburg\u003c\/i\u003e rectifies this oversight.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBy the time the battle ended, more than 23,000 men had been killed, wounded, or captured--a grim statistic that tells only part of the story. The epicenter of that deadly day was the small community of Sharpsburg. Families lived, worked, and worshipped there. It was their home. And the horrific fighting and its aftermath turned their lives upside down.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePacked with photos, explanatory footnotes, and original maps, Cowie's richly detailed study is a must-read for those seeking new information on the battle and a fresh perspective on those who suffered because of it. The impact on the local community was an American tragedy all its own, and it is told here completely for the first time.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Savas Beatie\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/15\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781611216882\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 552","brand":"Steven Cowie","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43084066554037,"sku":"9781611216882","price":22.91,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_c4005f34-799f-4cf1-8622-ade4138889c4.jpg?v=1692109710","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/when-hell-came-to-sharpsburg-the-battle-of-antietam-and-its-impact-on-the-civilians-who-called-it-home-9781611216882","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
