COMMANDERS OF ANTIETAM IS HERE!Mark your calendars! On Thursday, February 20th at 6:00pm the Sharpsburg Library and the Antietam Institute will co-host the "Meet the Authors of the Commanders of Antietam" event. The event will be held in McKinley Hall at St. Paul's Episcopal Church in Sharpsburg. Come on out to meet the editors, Kevin Pawlak and Brad Gottfried as well as a number of the contributors of the book. The authors will briefly discuss the book, their favorite commander they wrote about, and be on hand afterwards to sign your copy. Books will also be available for purchase.
The "Commanders of Antietam" takes a unique approach by providing a biography of every (191) brigade, division, and corps/wing commanders in the infantry, cavalry, and artillery in the Union Army of the Potomac and the Confederate Army of Northern Virginia. Each section is divided into three parts: Before the Maryland Campaign, The Maryland Campaign, and After the Maryland Campaign,. The 44 expert authors drew heavily on
first-person accounts and primary sources to weave a compelling story about each commander at Antietam.
Kevin Pawlak and Brad Gottfried are the editors of this volume. It is the third in a series of books focused on different aspects of the campaign, including "Brigades of Antietam" (edited by Bradley Gottfried) and "Artillery of Antietam" (by James A. Rosebrock)
