Monocacy Battle Fought Ninety Years Ago Saved Union
Ninety years ago today in Frederick Junction area the Monocacy battle delayed Jubal Early's forces, allowing reinforcements to reach Union lines under Lew Wallace. With 5,000 Union troops against as many as 18,000 Confederates, the clash near Route 40 and Route 15 delayed the march toward Washington, helped by three Confederate divisions coming from Petersburg, and the battle is linked to preserving the capital. The fight, stalemated yet costly, preceded the Potomac flotilla relief and the Monocacy battlefield becoming a national military park. many dead lie in Mt Olivet cemetery.
