The Battle of Antietam, July 1863

A Gleam of Bayonets:

The summer of 1862 was a time of peril for the Union. The Army of the Potomac and its generals had failed the test of battle again and again. In September, Robert E. Lee invaded the North. One more victory might have turned the war in favor of the Confederacy.

In desperation, Lincoln placed George B. McClellan in command. The pursuing Union army caught up to the Confederates at Antietam Creek. With the Confederates outnumbered 2 to 1, and on Union Soil, McClellan had the chance to end the war in a single day. It was the bloodiest day in the history of America. In
A GLEAM OF BAYONETS, the map illustrates the orchards, corn and wheat fields, as well as the 'Bloody Lane,' which were bitterly fought over. Colorful counters represent the actual units - the infantry regiments, artillery batteries, supply wagons and historical commanders. Additional counters represent the strength and strength and status of the units. Simple probability charts determine each exciting confrontations outcome.
