Reddit reviews Landscape Turned Red: The Battle of Antietam

A favorite of mine that I have read several times over is Landscape Turned Red by Stephen W. Sears. It's about Antietam and I always have a hard time putting it down.

Well, Antietem is easy to go to if you are in the area.

I went perhaps eight years ago (from VT, so it involved a long car ride and hotel expenses). Many fewer markers than Gettysburg, but it is by no means built up or spoiled in that way. However, I personally had some trouble understanding the picture, as presented by the markers, etc.

I just finished reading Sears's book, which I thought was excellent. I intend to visit again and I feel that now I would have a much better understanding of where people were coming from when they got to the cornfield, etc.
