Unholy Sabbath: The Battle of South Mountain in History and Memory

Brian Matthew Jordan

4.2/5 ( ratings)

Many readers of Civil War history have been led to believe that the battle of South Mountain was but a trifling skirmish, a preliminary engagement of little strategic or tactical consequence overshadowed by Antietam's horrific carnage just three days later. In fact, the fight was a decisive Federal victory and important turning point in the campaign, as historian Brian Matthew Jordan convincingly argues in his fresh interpretation Unholy Sabbath: The Battle of South Mountain in History and Memory, September 14, 1862.
