Speaker: Dr. Thomas Clemens

General Ezra Ayers Carmen wrote an over 1,800-page manuscript that accompanied a series of 14 maps that mark the troop movements of the Battle of Antietam. These maps and manuscripts became the most detailed record of the events of this battle, or any other Civil War battle, and are still used to conduct research. These documents are the centerpiece of the work completed by Ezra Carmen and the Antietam Battlefield Board. The work completed by the Battlefield Board in the 1890s set the battlefield on the course that made it what it is today. Dr. Thomas Clemens' workshop for the Civil War Museum will consider the legacy of General Carmen and his influence on the maps, markers and interpretation of the Antietam battlefield.
