The truth behind a Civil War controversy.Anyone with an interest in the 1862 Maryland Campaign will find it a fascinating and illuminating read. D. Scott Hartwig, author of To Antietam Creek
The discovery of Robert E. Lees Special Orders no. 191 outside of Frederick, Maryland on September 13, 1862 is one of the most important and hotly disputed events of the American Civil War. For more than 150 years historians have debated if George McClellan, commander of the Union Army of the Potomac, dawdled upon receiving a copy of the orders before warily advancing to challenge Lees forces at the Battle of South Mountain. In this new digital essay, the first in the Spotlight Series to be published by Savas Beatie, authors Gene Thorp and Alexander Rossino document exhaustively how Little Mac moved with uncharacteristic energy to counter the Confederate threat and take advantage of Lees divided forces, striking a blow in the process that wrecked Lees plans and sent his army reeling back toward Virginia. The essay is a beautifully woven tour de force of primary research that proposes to put a final word on the debate over the fate and impact of the Lost Orders on the history of the 1862 Maryland Campaign.
Thorp and Rossino make a very persuasive case for McClellan having received the Lost Orders in mid-afternoon and sending his dispatch to Lincoln at midnight on September 13th, 1862. If I were writing my Antietam book today, I would follow their account. James M. McPherson, author of the Pulitzer Prize-winning Battle Cry of Freedom

ADVANCE PRAISE FOR
The Tale Untwisted
Thorp and Rossino make a very persuasive case for McClellan having received the
Lost Orders in mid-afternoon and sending his dispatch to Lincoln at midnight on
September 13, 1862. If I were writing my Antietam book today, I would follow their
account.
James M. McPherson, author of
Crossroads of Freedom: Antietam
and the Pulitzer prize-winning
Battle Cry of Freedom
This well documented and logical explanation of the controversial Lees Lost
Orders debate finally puts the actions of General George McClellan in a proper
context. Before a single Union soldier took a step in response to any order based on
finding S.O. 191, Lee remarked that he found the Union army advancing more
rapidly than convenient. Now we know why.
Thomas G. Clemens, editor of
The Maryland Campaign of September 1862
, Vols. 1-3
Gene Thorp and Alexander Rossino have written a clear, extremely well researched
essay exploring when Lees famous lost orders, Special Orders No. 191, came into
McClellans possession and how he responded to them. It is good history and anyone
with an interest in the 1862 Maryland Campaign will find it a fascinating and
illuminating read.

Savas Beatie is pleased to introduce its Spotlight series.
Few venues exist today for the publication of essay-length scholarly
research supported with footnotes and maps. The Savas Beatie Spotlight
series fills that need by presenting readers with outstanding studies on
subjects of historical significance that would otherwise be left unwritten
and thus unread.
By focusing tightly on specific issues and debates, the Spotlight essays
further historical scholarship and offer a platform for authors who have
interesting research to present, but who might not be prepared to publish
a book-length study.
Offering these essays in digital format meets the needs of most
modern readers while keeping costs down and ensuring the widest
possible distribution.

The Tale Untwisted
very so often one of the American Civil Wars most enduring
controversies bursts into public awareness, stirring renewed
debate among historians and history buffs alike. That controversy,
of course, is the question if General George B. McClellan, commander of
the Army of the Potomac, dawdled after receiving a mislaid copy of Robert
E. Lees Special Orders No. 191 on September 13, 1862. Those orders,
discovered in a wheat field southeast of Frederick, Maryland two days after
Confederate troops marched out on September 11, provided McClellan with
the operational strategy that Lee intended to follow until his army captured
the federal garrison at Harpers Ferry. The Lost Orders, as they have
come to be known, placed a priceless gift of military intelligence into the
federal commanders hands, as he now knew what his adversary was in the
process of doing. Controversy, however, about the steps McClellan took or
failed to take in response to reading Lees orders continues to swirl. Did
McClellan hesitate, giving Lee more time than he should have had to defend
the passes at South Mountain, or did McClellan promptly deliver a blow that
wrecked Lees plans and sent his army reeling back toward Virginia?
The crux of the debate has long focused on the hour of the day when
