These are excerpts from the book "Monocacy" by Alfred Roe, 9th New York Heavy Artillery. The videos are taken from where he stood and fought. The American Civil War Battle of Monocacy took place just outside Frederick, Maryland on July 9, 1864. It was fought between the forces of Lew Wallace and Jubal Early. This is also known as the Battle that Saved Washington. The battle was brutal. General Gordon said that some of the hardest and bloodiest fighting of the war happened on these fields.
This was my very first video on KZbin. I am certainly a work in progress. All videos were taken on site, close to where the events occurred.
No content was changed from the original. This is not intended to be a complete view of the battle but only what was experienced by Alfred Roe.
This is episode one in the "What They Saw" series. Brought to you by Peach Orchard Publishing, www.peachorchardpublishing.com

Filing at the locations, synching it up with passages from Roe’s account, and then blending in historic images, this is an incredible account. BRAVO!!

Well, so far so good. I should have started this years ago.

My great-grandfather, Alfred N. Sova, a private in Co. B of the NY. Heavies, put a torch to the wooden covered bridge, upon the order of Gen. Lew Wallace. A copy of his tintype image is displayed in the battlefield museum.

A few feet from the Francis Scott Key statue you took a picture of lies the most incredible view of the battle: a 500 foot row of 200+ well-marked graves from the battle, moved to line the back of the cemetery almost touching the fence of the neighborhood behind them. Use google street & satellite view.
