Students of the Civil War tend to think the story of Robert E. Lee's 1862 Maryland Campaign is complete, and that any new study of the subject must by necessity rely on interpretations long-since accepted and understood. But what if this is not the case? What if the histories previously written about the first major Confederate operation north of the Potomac River missed key sources, proceeded from mistaken readings of the evidence, or were influenced by Lost Cause ideology?

Alexander B. Rossino, the author of Six Days in September, demonstrates that distortions like these continue to shape modern understanding of the campaign in Their Maryland: The Army of Northern Virginia From the Potomac Crossing to Sharpsburg in September 1862.

Rossino reassesses the history of the Confederate operation in seven comprehensive chapters, each of which tackles a specific major issue:
* Did Robert E. Lee Intend to Foment Rebellion in Maryland in September 1862?
* The Army of Northern Virginia Crosses the Potomac to Liberate Maryland
* Confederate Encampments Near Frederick City and the Implications for the Lost Orders Debate
* Maryland Civilians and Confederate Failure in the State
* Rebels Photographed in Frederick, Maryland: The Case for September 1862
* A Critical Reassessment of Robert E. Lee's Defensive Strategy at Sharpsburg
* Robert E. Lee on the Field at Sharpsburg

AUTHOR: Award-winning author and historian Alexander B. Rossino is a resident of Boonsboro, Maryland. He worked at the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum (1994-2003) and is the author of Hitler Strikes Poland: Blitzkrieg, Ideology, and Atrocity, an acclaimed history of the racial-political policies implemented by the Third Reich during its 1939 invasion of the Polish Republic, and nearly a dozen scholarly articles and book reviews.

Dr. Rossino has also published a two-part series of historically accurate Civil War novels, Six Days in September: A Novel of Lee's Army in Maryland, 1862 (2017) and The Guns of September: A Novel of McClellan's Army in Maryland, 1862 (2021), as well as a groundbreaking study in Savas Beatie's Civil War Spotlight series titled The Tale Untwisted: George McClellan and The Discovery of Lee's Lost Orders, September 13, 1862 (2019), which he co-authored with Gene M. Thorp.
