Publisher's Summary

Antietam is the third book of eight spanning the Civil War and describing its 
effect on one southern family. The Brannon brothers answer the call to arms at 
different times, and the family finds itself struggling with dilemmas it never 
had considered.

In early 1862 the war comes within view of the Brannon family farm in Culpeper 
County, Virginia. The din of drilling soldiers sweeps over the quiet countyside, 
and another son of Abigail and John Brannon answers the call to arms. A gifted 
horseman, Mac, joins Jeb Stuart's cavalry and soon finds himself on one of the 
greatest adventures of the war.

The anticipated spring offensive pitches the Union and Confederate Armies 
against each other on the Virginia Peninsula, and it appears that Richmond and 
the fledgling Confederacy are doomed. As the Southerners fall back before the 
slowly advancing Northern army, Mac is reunited with his older brother, Will, 
when Stonewall Jackson's triumphant troops arrive from the Shenandoah Valley to 
blunt the Federal onslaught. Following the fighting at Seven Pines, the brothers 
witness firsthand the reversal of Confederate fortunes when Robert E. Lee is 
made commander of the Southern army.

While love blossoms on the Brannon homestead, Lee's army strikes a stunning blow 
to the Northern army on the peninsula then crosses the Potomac River into 
Maryland. When the Federals intercept the Rebels near Antietam Creek, the two 
brothers are brought together in the bloodiest trial of the war thus far. The 
air is thick with shot and shell as wave after wave of the Northern soldiers are 
hurled upon the Southern lines grouped near the town of Sharpsburg and a river 
of death.

Find out what happens to the Brannon family in the rest of the Civil War Battle 
Series.
