Sentinel Magazine, Summer 2012

As you may have noticed, I haven't been posting on the blog very frequently as of late. Between research and work at the park, I honestly haven't had much time to work on the blog. Below is a link for the summer issue of the Park Service's Sentinel magazine, highlighting the events in the National Capital Region. This issue focuses on the Maryland Campaign, and it has great pieces from rangers at other sites, as well as a schedule of events for the various parks in the region for the months of August and September, including Antietam's anniversary events this year. My friend and colleague Brian Baracz and I were fortunate enough to each write a short article on Antietam for this publication. The link below will take you to an online pdf version of the magazine. You can pick up a hard copy at Antietam, or one of the other Civil War sites in the National Capital Region of the Park Service.

On the hard copy version, my article is on pages 28 and 29. On the online pdf version, it is on page 15 of 21. It briefly discusses Antietam's link to the Emancipation Proclamation. I wanted to post this to share an awesome NPS resource dealing with the 150th anniversary of the Maryland Campaign, as well as to remind all of you that while I may not be posting as often as I would like to on here, I am still busy writing and working away at Antietam.
