Too Afraid to Cry by Kathleen A. Ernst is subtitled Maryland Civilians in The Antietam Campaign. The Battle of Antietam, which took place on Sept. 17th 1862, has been described as "the bloodiest day in American history". More than 23,000 men were dead, wounded or missing by evenings end. Left in the aftermath were the children, women and men who lived in the village of Sharpsburg. The battle that took place in the hills of western Maryland is a critical point in American history. This book is a narrative weaving together first-hand accounts. The citizens had not made that choice of battle, yet they rose to the challenge, some demonstrating remarkable courage, others foolishness or greed. Their story is as important to history as that of the combatants.
