Major battle of the American Civil War
POPULARITY
Tennessee Thunder: A Tale of Two Armies by Daniel F Korn https://www.amazon.com/Tennessee-Thunder-Tale-Two-Armies/dp/195919786X Everyone has heard of Gettysburg, but for sheer ferocity of fighting, it is tough to match the horrendous stories of what happened in the fight for Tennessee in the battles of Stones River and Chickamauga. This is the story of two very different armies, and their equally different commanders. The Union Army of the Cumberland, led by the charismatic, but excitable William Starke Rosecrans against the Confederate Army of Tennessee, and its hot-tempered and irascible commander; Braxton Bragg. As 1862 ends, and the birth of a new year of the war looms on the horizon, an end to the bloodletting is nowhere in sight. It was a year that had just seen the April horrific fight at Shiloh, the incredible ineptness of McClellan in the Peninsula /Seven Days Campaign, the September bloodbath known as Antietam, and President Lincoln's launch of a huge gamble in the Emancipation Proclamation, all followed by the near disaster for the Union at Fredericksburg. It would be followed by a year that would see death, destruction, and a level of ferocity in warfare on a scale never before seen on the American continent. Of all the major battles of the Civil War, Stones River had the highest percentage of casualties on both sides. Although the battle itself was inconclusive, the Union Army's repulse of two Confederate attacks and the subsequent Confederate withdrawal were a much-needed boost to Union morale after the defeat at the Battle of Fredericksburg. It dashed Confederate aspirations for control of Middle Tennessee. Names such as the Dragons Teeth, Slaughter Pen, the Round Forest, and the Orphans Brigade would enter the American lexicon. The battle was very important to Union morale, as evidenced by Abraham Lincoln's letter to General Rosecrans: "You gave us a hard-earned victory, which had there been a defeat instead, the nation could scarcely have lived over." The Confederate threat to Kentucky and Middle Tennessee was gone, and Nashville was secure as a major Union supply base for the rest of the war.
Shepherdstown, West Virginia, may be small, but its history runs deep — and dark. Founded in 1762 along the Potomac River, it's one of the oldest towns in the state. On the surface, it's full of charm — brick sidewalks, historic homes, and the quiet hum of university life. But behind the beauty lies centuries of turmoil. Just three miles away, the Battle of Antietam became one of the bloodiest days in American history. When it ended, the wounded poured in by the thousands, turning every home, church, and business into a field hospital. Locals say the town was never the same — it seems that the ground itself remembers. Ghostly figures are seen near the riverbanks, whispers echo from the churchyards, and even Shepherd University has its share of unexplained encounters. Janet Hughes, owner of Shepherdstown Mystery Walks, knows these stories better than anyone. Through her tours, she reveals the layers of tragedy, resilience, and lingering energy that make Shepherdstown one of the most haunted towns in West Virginia. Is it history holding on—or something that refuses to let go? This is Part Two of our conversation. Get more information about her walking tours, at shepherdstownmysterywalks.com.

Grief and loss can feel like ashes, but God promises to bring beauty, strength, and hope out of our pain. In Become Like an Oak Tree, Whitney Hopler reflects on Isaiah 61:2-3, reminding us that God grows us into “oaks of righteousness”—deeply rooted in His love, resilient through life’s storms, and a living display of His splendor. Highlights God transforms mourning into joy and despair into praise (Isaiah 61:2-3). Oak trees symbolize strength, endurance, and deep-rooted faith. Trials and grief become the soil where God plants new hope. Spiritual roots—through prayer, worship, and trust—anchor us in storms. Our testimony of faith gives others shade, comfort, and encouragement. Join the Conversation Where have you seen God bring beauty out of your ashes?

In May 1894, President Grover Cleveland gave a speech thanking those who gathered “to worship at this national shrine.” He was not referring to the battlefields at Gettysburg or Antietam, nor to Mount Vernon, but to the gravesite of Mary Ball Washington, mother of George. While dedicating the new monument that marked it in Fredericksburg, Virginia, Cleveland honored “the woman who gave our Nation its greatest and best citizen.” There could be no clearer valorization of eighteenth-century republican motherhood and its centrality to the nation's origin story.The Mother of Washington in Nineteenth-Century America (Oxford UP, 2025) by Dr. Kate Haulman examines the role of motherhood in the commemoration of the American Revolution by tracing the creation and evolution of the Mother of Washington figure. Dr. Haulman explores the nineteenth-century memory of an eighteenth-century woman known for and through her famous son, the nation's first president. Underpinned by a canon of stories about Mary that often involved George, the monument and the figure it memorialized overlapped, sometimes in surprising and even paradoxical ways. In print, in images, and on the landscape, memorializing Mary foregrounded maternal ideals based in traditional gender roles and ancestry in the public memory of the nation's founding. As some women framed their engagement with the state in maternal terms, other men and women used the Mother of Washington to link the virtues she represented to the nation's origins. Women memorialists finally took up the cause to complete the monument, finishing what elite men had begun decades earlier.Then as now, groups used the past to construct American motherhood, as well as using motherhood to engage with the founding past. The Mother of Washington in Nineteenth-Century America offers fresh arguments about gender, race, and the politics of Revolutionary history and memory still contested 250 years later. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

Highlights: The Guardians are still in playoff contention despite injuries and setbacks. Terry reflects on decades of poor performance by the team before the 1990s. Since 2013, under Terry Francona, the Guardians have had only two losing seasons. Stephen Vogt has matched Francona's win total through his first 310 games. The team's consistent competitiveness is often underappreciated by fans. Guardians are three games out of the wild card with 13 games left. Terry praises MLB's expanded playoff format for keeping more teams relevant. Guardians' pitching depth continues to be a strength despite injuries. Terry discusses the impact of trades, especially the one involving Mike Clevinger. Austin Hedges is praised for his leadership and handling of pitchers, despite poor hitting. Terry supports the six-man rotation as a way to preserve pitchers' arms. Parker Messick leads the team in ERA; other young pitchers are contributing well. Jose Ramirez is lauded for his leadership and playing through injuries. Brian Rocchio's move to second base has improved the infield defense. Terry suggests Travis Bazzana could be moved to the outfield to keep Rocchio at second. The Guardians' remaining schedule includes games against Detroit, Minnesota, and Texas. Terry and David transition to discussing the Browns' embarrassing loss to the Ravens. Joe Flacco struggled, and the game plan didn't help; coaching decisions are questioned. Injuries and poor performance from high-paid players like Jack Conklin and Denzel Ward are highlighted. Terry defends Myles Garrett's performance amid fan criticism. Browns' defense ranks seventh in limiting explosive plays; Packers rank first. Concerns raised about offensive play-calling and lack of deception. Terry warns against rushing to bench Flacco after one bad game. Baker Mayfield's resurgence with Tampa Bay sparks debate about his time in Cleveland. Terry believes the Browns mishandled Baker's injury and departure. The Watson trade is described as a franchise-altering decision with long-term consequences. Terry and David discuss the Cavs' offseason workouts and injury challenges. Cavs aim to improve endurance and toughness to match teams like Indiana and OKC. Terry shares insights on player rotations and injury recovery strategies. The podcast wraps with listener emails about sports nicknames and historical anecdotes. Terry mentions his column on Antietam and reflections on historical figures like Jesse Reno. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
National Battlefield Parks are grassland habitats worth writing home about. Tall grassy fields aren't typically considered beautiful, much less valuable to conserve. But battlefield monuments and military parks are maintained as historic sites, with the side-effect of preserving excellent habitat. Today, rather than the roar of cannons, battlefields like Gettysburg, Antietam, and Monocacy are filled with the sounds of grassland songbirds.More info and transcript at BirdNote.org.Want more BirdNote?

Slaget vid Gettysburg i Pennsylvania den 1-3 juli 1863 är kanske det mest kända slaget i det amerikanska inbördeskriget. Platsen var resultatet av att två arméer sökte varandra. Runt 300 skandinaver deltog vid Gettysburg.Vändpunkten i kriget hade kommit redan vid slaget vid Antietam året innan, men efter Gettysburg kunde rebellarmén inte längre föra kriget på sina egna villkor.Detta är det andra av två avsnitt av podden Historia Nu där programledaren Urban Lindstedt samtalar med journalisten och författaren Niclas Sennerteg, aktuell med boken Gettysburg – svenskarna som stred i amerikanska inbördeskriget.Det amerikanska inbördeskriget rasade mellan 1861 och 1865 och är det dödligaste kriget i USA:s historia. Slaget vid Gettysburg utkämpades under tre intensiva dagar mellan den 1 och 3 juli 1863.Den första dagen inleddes med att general John Bufords kavalleri lyckades hålla tillbaka de framryckande konfedererade trupperna. Bland de mest stridbara förbanden fanns Järnbrigaden, där soldater med svensk-norskt ursprung deltog i Michiganregementet. Dessa enheter spelade en avgörande roll i att pressa tillbaka sydstatssoldaterna och skapade oreda i Unionens elfte kår.Den 2 juli blev slagfältet ännu mer kaotiskt, särskilt vid platser som Peach Orchard och Little Round Top, där Unionens förflyttningar visade sig vara strategiskt avgörande. Samtidigt förvandlades det så kallade Wheatfield till ett blodigt skärselden av närstrider, där båda sidor led svåra förluster.Den 3 juli kulminerade striderna i det berömda anfallet känt som Pickett's Charge – ett frontalangrepp över öppna fält mot Unionens linjer vid Cemetery Ridge. Resultatet blev en katastrof för konfederationen. Angreppet slogs tillbaka med förödande förluster, vilket tvingade general Robert E. Lee att inleda reträtt – en vändpunkt som gav nordstaterna övertaget i kriget.Efterdyningarna av slaget var förödande. Uppemot 51 000 soldater beräknas ha dödats, sårats eller försvunnit under de tre dagarna. Fältsjukhusen var ofta kaotiska och bristfälligt utrustade, men vissa leddes av svenska läkare, som Dr Charles J. Nordquist, som försökte bringa ordning i kaoset. Många av de döda lades i provisoriska massgravar, en tragisk men nödvändig realitet i slagets efterspel.De som överlevde återvände ofta till civila livet. Flera av de invandrade soldaterna, både svenska och norska, skulle senare bli framgångsrika bönder eller småföretagare i det växande Amerika – en tyst men bestående konsekvens av det blodiga slaget vid Gettysburg.Bild: Slaget vid Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, den 3 juli 1863, skildrat i en handkolorerad litografi av Currier och Ives. Bilden visar ett avgörande ögonblick under det amerikanska inbördeskriget, där nordstaterna till slut segrade efter tre dagars blodiga strider.

“War is hell.” (Seriously) Big update at Golds Gym Venice, get ready. The usual suspects are glad that Hulk Hogan is dead. (Here's a clue: “they're probably cat owners.”) AFI: WTF? (take 2) I saw Andre The Giant, and my mom once met…Richard Nixon and Dwight D Eisenhower?! (And other historical Allen revelations!) New aggravation just dropped: “someone” leaving their coffee cup on the filthy sink surface. I went to see Aliens in 70mm at the Egyptian with Gale Ann Hurd (the producer) doing q&A, and shit got wild.
Bed and Breakfast Bathroom Fan Ambience … This is the bathroom fan from our room in a quaint B&B near Antietam. Last week's recording from the woods was from their property —thank you, Antietam Overlook Farm!I have some more summer sounds on the way next week, but I wanted a fan break… We haven't had a fan episode in awhile and as I've said before, “I'm a fan of fan” in Devil's Advocate Al Pacino. Gawd I love that line, any time someone is screaming something I am so in — my idea of funny is pretty much Ace Ventura all around. I love screams. Except not the time I was in Philadelphia when chunks of ice were flying off the skyscrapers in the wind. Smashing all around us as we crossed the street. This lady in front of me turns, looks toward the top of the PSFS Tower and screams. And I braced for what I was sure was a ****** meteor sized chunk of ice about to destroy us all.
The Battle of Antietam during the American Civil War remains the bloodiest day in American history.

Mountain forest late night into early morning Eld Ridge (10pm-2am), overlooking the Battlefields of Antietam.A few days late this week as I was at the final Wu-Tang New York City show and then a stay near Antietam for my wife's birthday (Happy birthday, hon!). My Wu-review contact-high influenced (no one tell my mom) and punctuative-free bluesky-cap is here (and give us a follow). Special thanks to my bff for inviting me along, the experience was transcendent (Big Daddy Kane showed up!).Also I really tried to pick up some unique NYC sounds while I was there but there were no real good opportunities. You can walk around Gotham with a ****** film crew and no one bats an eye, but the minute you break out just a microphone everyone wants to know what the **** you're doing. Bluh.But! Antietam was just what the doctor ordered after shuffling through one of America's busiest places. Wide open spaces, chatty bugs, and very few people. Spend the night.
To mark Independence Day, Big Books and Bold Ideas is airing an encore presentation of Kerri Miller's conversation with historian Patrick O'Donnell about his 2024 book, “The Unvanquished.”The Civil War is remembered for its sweeping battles: Gettysburg, Atlanta, Antietam. Less known are the small troops of men, enlisted by both sides, to fight far from the battlefields.These ruthless soldiers relied on stealth to sneak behind enemy lines — often wearing their opponent's uniform — and destroyed supply lines, assassinated military officials and gathered critical information.Today, we know this kind of warfare as shadow ops — which is a specialty of military historian Patrick K. O'Donnell. A roadside marker he happened to see in rural Virginia ignited years of research into the Civil War-era special forces who were tasked by President Lincoln to undertake spy operations and secrete missions against Confederate units.This week, he joined MPR News host Kerri Miller on Big Books and Bold ideas to talk about his book, “The Unvanquished,” which masterfully tells the story of this forgotten chapter of history.Guest:Patrick K. O'Donnell is a bestselling military historian and an expert on elite units. He is the author of thirteen books, including “The Indispensables,” “The Unknowns” and “Washington's Immortals.” His new book is “The Unvanquished.”Subscribe to Big Books and Bold Ideas with Kerri Miller on Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, RSS or anywhere you get your podcasts.Subscribe to the Thread newsletter for the latest book and author news and must-read recommendations.

The most famous battles of the US Civil War all occurred in the eastern theater, such as Gettysburg, Antietam, Shiloh, and Bull Run. However, one of the most important battles, from both a strategic and tactical standpoint, took place in the west. It was one of the most brilliant led battles of the entire conflict, and it vaulted into prominence a man who would go on to lead the Union to victory and ultimately the Presidency.

Garry Adelman, Kris White and Bryan Cheeseboro come to you from the David Miller Farm at Antietam. Many people come to the Cornfield while visiting Antietam, but few people ever see it from the other side of the battlefield.
In this stop of our tour of Antietam for the 162nd anniversary of the battle (in September, 2024), we are joined by Dennis Frye as we debate the action at Burnside Bridge from the Confederate (high ground) perspective.
A haunting image of an unnamed Native child and a recovered story of the American West In 1868, celebrated Civil War photographer Alexander Gardner traveled to Fort Laramie to document the federal government's treaty negotiations with the Lakota and other tribes of the northern plains. Gardner, known for his iconic portrait of Abraham Lincoln and his visceral pictures of the Confederate dead at Antietam, posed six federal peace commissioners with a young Native girl wrapped in a blanket. The hand-labeled prints carefully name each of the men, but the girl is never identified. As The Girl in the Middle: A Recovered History of the American West (Princeton University Press, 2025) goes in search of her, it draws readers into the entangled lives of the photographer and his subjects. Martha A. Sandweiss paints a riveting portrait of the turbulent age of Reconstruction and westward expansion. She follows Gardner from his birthplace in Scotland to the American frontier, as his dreams of a utopian future across the Atlantic fall to pieces. She recounts the lives of William S. Harney, a slave-owning Union general who earned the Lakota name “Woman Killer,” and Samuel F. Tappan, an abolitionist who led the investigation into the Sand Creek massacre. And she identifies Sophie Mousseau, the girl in Gardner's photograph, whose life swerved in unexpected directions as American settlers pushed into Indian Country and the federal government confined Native peoples to reservations. Spinning a spellbinding historical tale from a single enigmatic image, The Girl in the Middle reveals how the American nation grappled with what kind of country it would be as it expanded westward in the aftermath of the Civil War. Martha A. Sandweiss is professor emerita of history at Princeton University, where she is founding director of the Princeton & Slavery Project. Caleb Zakarin is editor at the New Books Network.

In this episode, delve into the fascinating world of 'Witness Trees'—trees that have stood the test of time and witnessed key moments in American history. From the Civil War battlefields of Antietam, Gettysburg, and Manassas to the site of the Oklahoma City bombing, these trees have borne silent witness to significant events. We explore the stories and historical significance of several protected trees, including the Burnside Sycamore, the Oklahoma City Survivor Tree, and the iconic Jackson Magnolia at the White House. Through these stories, we're reminded of the resilience and endurance symbolized by these natural sentinels.

The Bangkok Podcast | Conversations on Life in Thailand's Buzzing Capital
We recount the fascinating story of George DuPont, the only Thai person who fought in the American Civil War. The first record of George in the U.S. is in 1859, but almost nothing is known of how or why he ended up in the United States. We know that in 1862 he volunteered for a New Jersey regiment to fight for the North in the American Civil War. Shockingly, he fought in and survived the battles of Antietam, Chancellorville, and Gettysburg, three of the bloodiest battles of the war. He was eventually naturalized as a U.S. citizen in 1869. He subsequently returned to Thailand, or Siam as it was known, and worked a variety of jobs, from writer for an English language newspaper to a drillmaster to a timber dealer. He died at age 56, and you can still see his grave in the Bangkok Protestant Cemetery on Charoen Krung 72/5. George DuPont represents a fascinating glimpse into the lives of early Thai immigrants to America. Greg and Ed surmise that there must have been immigrants before him, equally or more interesting! One way or another, we'll find them and tell their stories on the Bangkok Podcast. :) Don't forget that Patrons get the ad-free version of the show as well as swag and other perks.

Det amerikanska inbördeskriget är USA:s blodigaste krig som det fortfarande går att skönja spåren efter idag. Inbördeskriget kom att förebåda de totala krig som kom att föröda Europa på 1900-talet.Trots den enorma skalan var det ett amatörernas krig vilket resulterade stora förluster på bägge sidor. Det var också det första moderna kriget där nya militära teknologier som pansarbåtar och repetergevär kom att utnyttjas i stora slag med enorma förluster till följd.I detta avsnitt av Historia Nu samtalar programledaren Urban Lindstedt med professor Martin Hårdstedt om kriget som delade USA. Detta är första delen av tre i vår serie om det amerikanska inbördeskriget.I början av 1861 gick sju amerikanska delstater samman för att gemensamt lämna Amerikas Förenta Stater och bilda Amerikas Konfedererade Stater. Stora dispyter om slaveri mellan det nordliga och sydliga USA hade lett till en spänd politisk situation och valet av Abraham Lincoln till USA:s sextonde president 1860 fällde avgörandet.Så småningom utgjordes de konfedererade staterna, eller sydstaterna, av sammanlagt elva delstater. För den nytillträdda presidenten i nord väntade en svår uppgift – att åter ena landet till en gemensam union. Detta skulle utmynna i en fyra år lång väpnad konflikt och ett krig som skulle sätta djupa spår i den amerikanska historien.Mellan 1861 och 1865 utkämpades det amerikanska inbördeskriget mellan Amerikas Förenta Stater och Amerikas Konfedererade stater. Kriget kännetecknas av sina framträdande generaler, de politiska val som präglat bilden av Abraham Lincoln och det faktum att det anses vara konflikten som satte stopp för slaveriet i USA.Trots att sydstaterna utkämpade ett defensivt krig som inledningsvis gick till deras fördel brukar man ofta betrakta 1863 som den avgörande vändpunkten. Nordstaterna fick övertaget och 1865 kapitulerade sydstaterna. Totalt dog mellan 500 000 och 1 000 000 människor till följd av kriget.3000 svenskar eller svenskättlingar slogs i det amerikanska inbördeskriget. De flesta för nordstaterna men även för konfederationen. Det fanns även ett svenskt kompani som ingick 57:e Illinoisregementet.Bild: Slaget vid Antietam. Potomac-armén: Gen. Geo. B.

Renowned for his acclaimed work, Battle Cry of Freedom: The Civil War Era, which earned him the Pulitzer Prize, McPherson has also authored many other significant historical books, including the New York Times bestseller, Crossroads of Freedom: Antietam, the Battle that Changed the Course of the Civil War. Today, McPherson will share his insights on the Battle of Antietam, fought on September 17, 1862—America's bloodiest single day—including its military significance, its role in discouraging international support for the Confederacy and its connection to the Emancipation Proclamation. Additionally, McPherson will discuss the importance of preserving historic battlefields for the benefit of future generations.

On this exciting episode of Fishing the DMV, I sit down with members of one of Maryland's oldest bass fishing clubs—the Antietam Bassmasters—the club that welcomed me when I moved to the state a few years ago. Joining me are two standout members: Curt Cole and the Club's Angler of the Year, Ken Rose. Together, we reflect on the highlights and experiences of the past year including: Lake Anna, Potomac River, Raystown, Deep Creek Lake, Butch Ward on the Upper Potomac River and Mr. Bass!!!

Riveting ghost stories with history from all the major engagements of the war.Civil War Ghost Trails examines the major engagements of the Civil War and their connections to the paranormal world. The history of each battlefield is followed by the classic ghost stories that have been around since the guns fell silent. Mark Nesbitt also collected newer stories and attempted a paranormal investigation, including Electronic Voice Phenomena (EVP), at many of the sites to see what could be found. In some cases, the results were astounding.Some of the spirits included in the book are the Headless Zouave at Bull Run, the Drummer Boy at Shiloh, and the Phantom Battalion at Gettysburg. Ghosts appear at the Bloody Lane at Antietam and Caroline Street in Fredericksburg, as well as sites at Chancellorsville, Vicksburg, Chickamauga, Chattanooga, Petersburg, and Appomattox Court House. A special section of the book explores the haunted Civil War prisons at Johnson's Island in Ohio, Point Lookout in Maryland, and Andersonville in Georgia.
