“The Faces of Antietam” with Civil War Author John Banks

Learn about those who witnessed the bloodiest day in American history

Join Civil War author and adventurer John Banks at 2pm on April 16th at the National Museum of Civil War Medicine for “Faces of Antietam” as he provides snapshots of some of the men and women who witnessed the bloodiest day in American history and its aftermath. He also will spotlight a local historian as well as a man whose ancestor was rocked by the events of Sept. 17, 1862. Banks, a board member of the Save Historic Antietam Foundation, is author of three Civil War books—including A Civil War Road Trip Of A Lifetime, coming late spring.

The presentation is included with admission to the National Museum of Civil War Medicine and FREE for NMCWM members.
