I have written a novel set against the background of the battle at Antietam during the Civil War. I would like further details about the Smoketown field hospital, a few miles from the Pry House Hospital on the outskirts of Sharpsburg.

You might try the National Museum of Civil War Medicine which is in Frederick, Maryland, but also contains the Pry House Field Hospital near Antietam.
Have you contacted NARA's Textual Reference Archives I Branch in Washington, DC for this information? If not, their email address is archives1reference@nara.gov. This Branch has custody of most of NARA's records pertaining to the Civil War.
