Just finish this interesting book, written for the view of the soldier on the field. The author; John M Priest used many first person written accounts to cover this deadliest one day battle in America's history. The book is packed full of maps, although each map is at least a page off. This means as you read the book there will be a lot of flipping back and forth. You also find many photo of lesser well known men who fought in this Maryland battle.
A very good read. Well documented. I highly recommend.
