Unfurl Those Colors: McClellan, Sumner, and the Second Army Corps in the Antietam Campaign Hardcover - 2008

by Marion V. Armstrong

From the publisher

Unfurl Those Colors! provides an operational study of the Army of the Potomac during the pivotal Battle of Antietam on September 17, 1862, illuminating in details that will fascinate scholars and armchair generals alike US army commander George B. McClellan's command decisions and how those decisions were carried out in the middle and lower ranks of the Second Army Corps. Armstrong offers the most comprehensive account yet of the Second Army Corps's fight at Antietam, including Sedgwick's division in the West Woods and French's and Richardson's divisions at Bloody Land. He offers a fresh reappraisal of the leadership of Bostonian Edwin V. "Bull Head" Sumner as the only federal corps commander who doggedly and accurately carried out McClellan's battle plan and effectively directed the battle on the Federal right. Many esteemed Civil War historians consider Antietam a watershed moment in the Civil War, a crucial success after which Abraham Lincoln was emboldened to issue the Emancipation Proclamation. Unfurl Those Colors! offers a vital examination of the operational fabric of the Army of the Potomac's leadership and command in one of the most important days in American history.
