Introduction
Authors John Banks and Tom McMillan dive deep into the Battle of Antietam — September 17, 1862, the bloodiest day in American history — as well as into the 1862 Maryland Campaign and other Civil War topics. Join these longtime journalists, who, along with their guests, share stories, knowledge and much more about the battle and the most compelling period in American history. The podcast is sponsored by Civil War Trails, which since 1994 has connected visitors with small towns and big stories across a network that now spans six states.
