Sears Combining brilliant military analysis with rich narrative history,Landscape Turned Red is the definitive work on the Battle of Antietam. The Civil War battle waged on September 17, , at Antietam Creek, Maryland, was one of the bloodiest in the nation's history: on this single day, the war claimed nearly 23, casualties.

Here renowned historian Stephen Sears draws on a remarkable cache of diaries, dispatches, and letters to recreate the vivid drama of Antietam as experienced not only by its leaders but also by its soldiers, both Union and Confederate, to produce what theNew York TimesBook Review has called "the best account of the Battle of Antietam. Somebody's Darling: Essays on the Civil War by Kent Gramm In his latest book, Kent Gramm examines the meaning of the Civil War experience in our lives and explores philosophical and personal aspects of the War that lie outside the scope of traditional historical study.

He probes the meaning of Gettysburg, the Wilderness, and Antietam; the lives of U. Grant, Robert E. Lee, O. Howard, and Chief Joseph of the Nez Perce; and the legacy of the unknown participant, "somebody's darling," for whom the war would come to encompass all things. Readers of Gramm's previous books will not be surprised to find essays that touch on Walt Whitman, John Keats, Henrik Ibsen, and Halldor Laxness, as well as such literary and religious works as the Iliad and the Bhagavad Gita.

Gramm also treats more popular fare, such as the movie Gettysburg and a series of books on the ghosts of Gettysburg. Web icon An illustration of a computer application window Wayback Machine Texts icon An illustration of an open book.

I understand the thinking--that the Civil Rights movement had its roots in slavery--but if we open that door, a lot more can come in and dilute the thread. Brown didn't live to see the Civil War, but his entire life was focused on freeing slaves; he was a big part of the drumroll leading into the war.

Possibly it is the same person that did this. Let us hope there's not more than one of them running around changing essential list components at whim. And now I wish I could recall who it was that shared this information; it was within the last week, that much I know.

Knock wood. I just checked the profile of this particular person and she's still a librarian. I don't think it's something she should lose her librarian status over, she just needs to be told to stop.
