HTP EP 79: “I Dread The Thought Of The Place…” w/D. Scott Hartwig

For the 162 commemoration of the Battle of Antietam Pat & Matt turned to friend of the show, Scott Hartwig, to discuss the second volume in his Maryland Campaign series. Following on the back of To Antietam Creek, Scott published last year, I Dread the Thought of the Place.

This massive tome goes into detail on the specific movements of the contending armies during the Battle of Antietam, as well as the personalities of the campaign. Scott discusses the motivations and objectives of both McClellan and Lee during the Campaign, as well as how he pulled all this material together.

Now Pat and Matt are Maryland Campaign guys, so they have lots of questions and benefit from Scott's insights. Join them and Scott Hartwig as the gang heads back to Antietam Creek!
