Burnside's
Bridge : The Climactic Struggle of the 2nd and 20th Georgia at Antietam
Creek
by Phillip Thomas Tucker
Before the heroic stand of the 20th Maine at Little Round Top, the
2nd and 20th Georgia Infantries, led by Brig. Gen. Robert Toombs, held
off a veritable Yankee juggernaut and triumphed at Burnside's Bridge on
Antietam Creek in 1862. This detailed account profiles the troops whose
last stand helped prevent the destruction of the Army of Northern Virginia,
providing Robert E. Lee with yet another chance for a northern invasion.
Phillip Thomas Tucker, chief historian of the 81st Training Wing, Keesler
Air Force Base in Biloxi, Mississippi, is the author/editor of several
Civil War titles, including The 1862 Plot to Kidnap Jefferson Davis

Special Order
No
Certain Rest
by Jim Lehrer
Those who share television newsman James Lehrer's passion for the Civil
War will be thrilled to encounter this graceful, deftly written novel about
a U.S. Parks Department archaeologist investigating the mystery of a murdered
Union officer whose remains are discovered in an unmarked grave near Antietam,
the scene of one of the bloodiest battles in history. Don Spaniel's curiosity
about the circumstances of the soldier's death is ratcheted up several
degrees when it turns out that the ID disk found in the grave belongs to
another solider from a different regiment, whose body is buried elsewhere.
And when a woman from the historical society of a small town in the Midwest
gives Spaniel a document that refers to the murder, along with a warning
that some stories are better left untold, he swings into high gear to solve
a century-old mystery. The pace of this novel is so slow it may put some
readers to sleep, and the protagonist is more of a talking history book
than a flesh-and-blood character, but real Civil War buffs probably won't
mind at all. --Jane Adams - Amazon.com

Antietam
1862 (Campaign Series)
by Norman S. Stevens.
Antietam was one of the critical battles of the American Civil War.
The fortunes of the South were riding high after the resounding victory
at Second Manassas. While Bragg and Kirby Smith invaded Kentucky, Lee's
invasion of Maryland was intended to maintain the Southern offensive momentum
and to win the recognition of the European powers. But his bold plan was
compromised-and at the Antietam River the Army of Northern Virginia was
fighting for its very life. Norman Stevens looks not only at Antietam,
but also at the whole period beginning with the Union retreat at Second
Manassas.
