Must Listen!

Shara's description of the lead up to, battle, and aftermath of Antietam, was the perfect primer for our trip to the battlefield. It gives a deeper meaning, to what happened there, when this horrible battle is put into the context of the war between the Confederacy and the Union. You will not understand where America is today, without understanding the Civil War.

Well done.

Excellent overview and narration of Antietam. I strongly recommend this if you’re going to visit the area.
