“Antietam
Endgame: The Conclusion of Lee’s Maryland Campaign,

Join us on Tuesday, September 23rd for the meeting of the Williamsburg Civil War Roundtable, commencing at 6:30 PM in the Williamsburg Regional Library Theatre. The library is located at 515 Scotland Street in Williamsburg.
On Tuesday September 23rd Kevin Pawlak will present “Antietam Endgame: The Conclusion of Lee’s Maryland Campaign, September 18-20, 1862."
The Maryland Campaign did not conclude with the
Battle of Antietam on September 17. Three days of fighting and
maneuvering after the bloodiest single day in American history ended
Confederate hopes for a victory on Northern soil. The outcome of the
campaign still hung much in the balance and sharp fighting at
Shepherdstown and Williamsport proved to be the final events that turned
one of this nation's most crucial campaigns into a victory for the
United States.
