Crossroads of Freedom: Antietam (SIGNED COPY)
by: McPherson, James M.

Hardcover. New York, Oxford University Press, 1st, 2002, Book: Very Good, Dust Jacket: None, Hardcover, black leather with red gilt lettering on spine. 203 pages, gilt all edges, SIGNED BY AUTHOR on title page. It seemed that foreign governments were on the verge of recognizing the Confederacy and legitimizing its cause, and the Emancipation Proclamation had been shelved indefinitely. America's most eminent Civil War historian, James M. McPherson argues that the Union victory at Antietam sharply reversed all that. He paints a masterful account of this pivotal battle, the events that led up to it, and its aftermath. Spotless and tight copy.
