SUMMARY:Maine Writer's Series: Brian Swartz
DESCRIPTION:\n\nIn this\, the first of three volumes of Maine’s deep invo
 lvement in the American Civil War\, noted author\, historian\, journalist\
 , and storyteller Brian F. Swartz brings us more than just a history book.
  Beyond merely repeating facts from other books\, in this opening volume S
 wartz delivers an electrifying account of Maine at war—from Cilley’s f
 ateful duel at Bladensburg in 1838 to the explosive battle between the Reb
 els under Lee and the Yankees under McClellan at Sharpsburg\, Maryland\, i
 n late 1862.\n\nSwartz brings together eyewitness accounts from soldiers a
 nd nurses who were there—stories garnered from handwritten letters\, art
 icles and letters printed in newspapers of the day\, and other firsthand t
 ales.  From historical societies to state archives to libraries and beyon
 d\, and from decades of walking the actual battlefields while conducting h
 is research\, Swartz has spared no expense of time or detail to bring this
  powerful story to life. (Amazon)\n\n\n\n\nBRIAN SWARTZ\, a former writer
