I Dread the Thought of the Place: The Battle of Antietam & the End of the Maryland Campaign

This event is no longer on sale.

Wednesday January 17

6:30 PM  –  8:00 PM

Workshop is being held virtually, and will meet via Google Meet. An invitation for the meeting for those registered will be emailed the day of the workshop.

Speaker: Scott Hartwig

Scott Hartwig's I Dread the Thought of the Place, on the Battle of Antietam and it's aftermath, was published in August 2023. He said of his book, "I did not set out to write this book because Antietam was forgotten, or because I wanted to uncover the 'untold' Antietam, or wanted to make some claim that would be controversial to sell books. I wanted to tell the story, the whole story, not just the battle, and I wanted it to be a honest book whose focus was on the people who lived through Antietam." In this virtual class we will examine some of the major moments of the battle and the decisions that shaped them, and assess the leaders who had to make those decisions.
