Landscape Turned Red : The Battle of Antietam

September 17, 1862: Antietam. It was the bloodiest day in American history, and with the possible exception of Gettysburg, the most pivotal battle of the Civil War.

"Draws on a new body of material...an exact historian, Mr. Sears has the novelist's eye for illuminating all that was awesome and pitiable in that furious encounter." (The New York Times)

Winner of the 1983 Fletcher Pratt Award from the New York Civil War Round Table.
