Civil War site.
We drove through Sharpsburg yesterday on our way to Shepherdstown to see 2 plays.
Best books on Civil War are John Jakes' North and South and Michael Shaara's Killer Angels,

Unfortunately, my copy is packed in some box, though I remember it well.
Vividly brings to life the major and minor characters during 4 days of Battle of Gettysburg.
I especially remember the detail about all the cherries ripe in the orchards during the march N by Robert E Lee's forces.
Highly recommend these novels.
