Told by Ronald F. Maxwell focuses on the single bloodiest day in American history.
The film is told by Ronald F. Maxwell, director of Gettysburg and Gods and Generals.

It's September 17, 1862 and President Abraham Lincoln needs a victory in order to issue the Emancipation Proclamation and end slavery in the South. But Robert E. Lee has other plans - invade the North.
When Lee's strategy falls into the hands of the Union Army, the result is the single bloodiest day in American history at the Battle of Antietam in Sharpsburg, Maryland.
The Battle of Antietam results in more casualties than the American Revolution, the War of 1812, the Mexican War and the Spanish American War combined. In fact, the bloodiest day of World War II, D-Day, amounts to only one quarter of the casualties suffered at Antietam.

Left for Dead
     Preview Trailer

Left for Dead "The use of intriguing camera angles, period music and high quality sound effects and maps heighten the drama as seen through the eyes of dedicated soldiers who marched, fought and died under the Union flag."
- Carol Holzberg, Booklist

Pain, destruction and suffering cannot conquer the infallible war hero Oscar Jackson in Left for Dead. He lives through injuries that would overcome most men. A natural leader, Jackson abandons his studies of law to recruit his own company of Ohio soldiers, who then serve with the Ohio Brigade. During the battle of Corinth, Jackson is struck in the face with a musket ball. Thought to be mortally wounded, the captain is left for dead. The invincible Jackson not only survives -- but leads his company until the end of the war, despite the lingering effects of the bullet still lodged in his head. Jackson thrives both on and off of the battlefield, later becoming a U.S. Congressman.
