The Maryland Campaign of September 1862: Volume III - Shepherdstown Ford and the End of the Campaign Review: McClellan/Lincoln and 1862 - I gave the book 4 stars rather than 5 initially as Carman's story needs elaboration by other authors to get the full picture. But I came back to my review and upgraded it to 5. This reflects a view of the entire 3 volume set - a beautifully bound presentation with the detailed and informative maps of Gene Thorpe. (check out his site!) Carman accomplishes exactly what he stated as his goal - providing a running narrative that ties together the entire campaign, not shying away from controversies. In volume three, he highlights what his impression of the crossing at Shepherdstown Ford as a tepid conclusion. (Pleasanton was ordered away by MCClellan!) This is a contemporary voice of the participants; If he harbored more controversial ideas concerning Mac's intentions....Carman frames the controversies of this crucial phase of the war through the detailing of messages between Halleck and MCClellan. He's a marvelous journalist here, letting the materials tell the story, adding his views only at certain points, based on the paper trail. This third volume is a valuable window into the political conflict in the east between the Democratic professional army officers and the Republican administration, (And it's few allies in the AOP.) So much for, 'before we became such a political/media obsessed nation.' Additional recommended reading - 'McClellan's Other Story,' by Styple, 'Abandoned by Lincoln,' by Schutz, 'The First Republican Army,' by Matsui and 'Secret War for the Union,' by Fishel. The last book is kind of specialized, showing the nature of intelligence gathering in the 19th Century and the rise in the AOP of all-source intelligence, beginning with General Pope! But therein lies its value, i.e., why did Meade shutter this semi autonomous spy group, led by Butterfield and Sharpe/Babcock, after Gettysburg? Review: Excellent reads. - I now have all three in the Maryland campaign series by Carman and Clemens. I don't believe these books will ever be surpassed as to the history of these momentous days. Truly, as someone said, the Bible of this campaign. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #2,735,201 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #125 in Civil War Antietam History #28,896 in U.S. State & Local History #44,037 in World History (Books) | | Book 3 of 3 | The Maryland Campaign of September 1862 | | Customer Reviews | 4.9 4.9 out of 5 stars (36) | | Dimensions | 6.25 x 1 x 9.25 inches | | Edition | Annotated | | ISBN-10 | 1611213029 | | ISBN-13 | 978-1611213027 | | Item Weight | 1.3 pounds | | Language | English | | Print length | 336 pages | | Publication date | March 3, 2017 | | Publisher | Savas Beatie | ## Images ![The Maryland Campaign of September 1862: Volume III - Shepherdstown Ford and the End of the Campaign - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/31hzZk1cZvL.jpg) ![The Maryland Campaign of September 1862: Volume III - Shepherdstown Ford and the End of the Campaign - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61LWudHh0SL.jpg) ![The Maryland Campaign of September 1862: Volume III - Shepherdstown Ford and the End of the Campaign - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61aktOY3f9L.jpg) ![The Maryland Campaign of September 1862: Volume III - Shepherdstown Ford and the End of the Campaign - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/A1Lgz5Bjm-L.jpg) ![The Maryland Campaign of September 1862: Volume III - Shepherdstown Ford and the End of the Campaign - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/A1eLdO3nMIL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ McClellan/Lincoln and 1862 *by S***O on April 10, 2017* I gave the book 4 stars rather than 5 initially as Carman's story needs elaboration by other authors to get the full picture.

I had the pleasure of meeting Tom a few weeks later on a tour of South Mountain. This made his books come to life. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sn/products/41382879-the-maryland-campaign-of-september-1862-volume-iii-shepherdstown-ford](https://www.desertcart.sn/products/41382879-the-maryland-campaign-of-september-1862-volume-iii-shepherdstown-ford) --- *Product available on Desertcart Senegal* *Store origin: SN* *Last updated: 2026-08-28*
