Why the heck is it that all your info ALWAYS differs from the rest of us? Or are you just contrarian by nature? Take a look at Coddington or Wittenberg and Petruzzi about Meade's pursuit and compare it with the inert nature of McClellan after Antietam. You will find a vast difference between the two.
Well there's a question.
The difference here is that there isn't an easily digested volume on the post-Antietam operations. Needs to be written, and it's a gaping hole in the historiography. There is at least as much grist for the mill as "One Continuous Fight". However it paints McClellan in a much more favourable light than generalist histories.
I actually proposed that particular book a couple of years ago, and nobody was interested in publishing it. Why? Because other than some cavalry fighting in the Loudoun Valley, nothing happened.....

It really should be lumped in with the Fredericksburg campaign.
