Last Chance for Victory: Jubal Early's 1864 Maryland Invasion

A study of the Confederate invasion of Maryland in 1864. It was an attempt to capture Washington DC and relieve the pressure on R.E. Lee's army. Heavily mapped, the reader follows Gen. Early on his routes through Maryland, the Battle of Monocacy, the attack on Fort Stevens, and the retreat back out of Maryland. A wonderful new text on the subject written by an NPS ranger at Monocacy.
