Thank you for one more spectacular write-up. Where else may any person get that kind of info in such a ideal method of producing? I have a presentation following week, and I’m at the search for this sort of data.

I would be interested in seeing the pages of this book that refer to the Battle of Monocacy and The Battle of Fort Stevens. Is there a digital copy?
