Savas Beatie title The Maryland Campaign of September 1862, Vol. II: Antietam wins for Reprint category
EL DORADO HILLS, Calif., May 22, 2013 The Maryland Campaign of September 1862, Vol. II: Antietam edited by Thomas Clemens was selected as the 2012 winner of The Army Historical Foundation's Distinguished Writing Award for the reprint category. The Army Historical Foundation has an annual awards program to recognize books and articles that have made a distinctive contribution to U.S. Army history.

Ezra
Carman's
premiere
achievement
recognized by the Army Historical Foundation; a fine organization dedicated to preserving the heritage of America's military past, said Editor Thomas Clemens. Carman labored many years to write the most detailed study of the Maryland Campaign ever created. Having an organization of military historians, veterans and enthusiasts endorse his effort is very gratifying, and of course the efforts by the Savas Beatie staff made it all possible. It was inspiring, and a bit intimidating, to work on the manuscript with Carman's ghost looking over my shoulder, and a pleasure to work with the people at Savas Beatie.
The Maryland Campaign of September 1862, Vol. II: Antietam is second volume of Ezra Carmans The Maryland Campaign of September 1862. Editor Thomas G. Clemens, recognized internationally as one of the foremost historians of the Maryland Campaign, spent more than two decades studying Antietam and editing and annotating Carmans manuscript.
All of us here at Savas Beatie are pleased that Dr. Clemens work has been bestowed with
this prestigious award," explained Savas Beaties Managing Director Theodore P. Savas. "He has spent decades researching Carmans magisterial account."
Candidates are nominated by their publishers. A select Awards Committee of distinguished military historians and writers carefully judge the finalists. Each finalist is judged against the following four criteria: Significance to U.S. Army History, quality of writing (e.g. clarity, style and analysis), historical accuracy, and presentation (e.g. use of maps, photographs or other materials).
