The Aaron Good Chronicles examines the role of Sharpsburg farmhand Aaron Good. His contributions to identifying the dead of Antietam, locating field graves, and his participation in the efforts to remove the bodies from the battlefield to permanent cemeteries has never been historically scrutinized or fully understood.

From selling information to people who would come to Sharpsburg to retrieve the remains of those sacrificed in battle, to the never before revealed to modern history story about Aaron Good's discovery of the remains of a female Union soldier in June 1865.
