Antietam
(OverDrive MP3 Audiobook, OverDrive Listen)
In early 1862, the Civil War comes within view of the Brannon family farm in Culpeper County, Virginia. The din of drilling soldiers sweeps over the quiet county seat, and another Brannon son, Mac, answers the call to arms.
The long-anticipated spring offensive pitches the Union and Confederate armies against each other on the Virginia Peninsula, and it appears 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 made commander.
Lee's army strikes a stunning blow to the Northern army as his legions cross the Potomac River into Maryland. When the Federals intercept the Rebels near Antietam Creek, the two brothers are brought together in the bloodiest trial of the war thus far. The air is thick with shot and shell as wave after wave of Northern soldiers are hurled upon the Southern lines grouped near the town of Sharpsburg and a river of death.
Antietam is the third book in this ten-volume series spanning the Civil War and describing its effects on one Southern family. As the Brannon brothers answer the call to arms, the family finds itself struggling with dilemmas it had never imagined.

May 1, 2000
In this third installment (Manassas; Shiloh) of his Civil War series, Reasoner (Walker, Texas Ranger), moves the focus of his novel back to Virginia and his Culpepper County family, the Brannons. In this episode, two of the older brothers, Will and Mac Brannon, carry the main plot as they serve with Stonewall Jackson and J.E.B. Stuart, respectively, and march their way from the startling defense of Richmond during McClellan's abortive "Peninsula Campaign," on through Lee's disastrous foray into Maryland and the bloody battle of Antietam. The subplot centers on yet another Brannon brother, Titus, and his beloved, Polly Ebersole, as well as on the Brannon sister, Cordelia, and her star-crossed love for her friend Nathan Hatcher, who goes off to fight for the Union. Like its predecessors, the novel moves forward with alacrity and excellent pacing, punctuated by battles, skirmishes and romantic encounters aplenty. Reasoner's research is sound and his historical details accurate, though he shies away from depicting the violence and horror of combat. The usual cast of Civil War characters--irascible sergeants, incompetent officers and, of course, the innocents caught in the path of the fighting--play supporting roles. Although cameos of Stonewall Jackson, J.E.B. Stuart, Robert E. Lee and others come off more like caricature, the Brannons themselves are capably drawn. Anachronistic language and inner thoughts mar the book's credibility, but generally Reasoner skirts sensitive issues and keeps his focus on military history. Highly suitable for younger readers, the novel tells an entertaining and informative story, and sets up another installment--possibly Gettysburg?
