In early 1862, the Civil War comes within view of the Brannon family farm in Culpeper County, Virginia. The din of drilling soldiers sweeps above the quiet county seat, and another Brannon son, Mac, answers the decision to arms. The long-anticipated spring offensive pitches the Union and Confederate armies against each other on the Virginia Peninsula, and it would appear that Richmond and the fledgling Confederacy are doomed. As the Southerners fall back before the slowly advancing Northern army, Mac is reunited with his older brother, Will, when Stonewall Jackson's triumphant troops arrive from the Shenandoah Valley to blunt the Federal onslaught. The fortunes of the Southern army change dramatically when Robert E. Lee is manufactured commander. Lee's army strikes a stunning blow to the Northern army as his legions cross the Potomac River into Maryland. Once the Federals intercept the Rebels near Antietam Creek, both brothers are brought together in the bloodiest trial of the war thus far. Air is thick with shot and shell as wave after wave of Northern soldiers are hurled upon the Southern lines grouped near to the town of Sharpsburg and a river of death. Antietam is the 3rd book in this ten-volume series spanning the Civil War and describing its effects on one Southern family. As the Brannon brothers answer the decision to arms, the family finds itself struggling with dilemmas it had never imagined.
