Walking in the steps of Lt. Col Work’s 1st Texas on a sticky Friday afternoon in Gettysburg
OTD in 1864, the extremely underrated Battle of Monocacy was fought in Frederick County, Maryland. Gnl. Lew Wallace slowed Gen. Early just long enough for Gnl. Grant to reinforce the capital which is why Monocacy is called “The Battle that Saved Washington.” It’s a great visit, too!

“For every southern boy 14 years old, there is an instant when it is not quite 2 o’clock on that July afternoon in 1863. The absolute edge of no return, to turn back now and make home to either find land or plunge over the world’s roaring rim”- William Faulkner on Pickett’s Charge
“Go straight to hell with your rebel yell, we are the boys of Maine.” July 2, 1863 🔥🇺🇸 #gettysburg163
“You ask me if the thought of death does not alarm me. I will say that I do not wish to die. I myself am as big a coward as any could be, but give me the bullet before the coward when all my friends and companions are going forward.” - Unknown Union soldier, July 1, 1863
On this date in 1864, the Battle of Kennesaw Mountain was fought during Sherman’s Atlanta campaign. Definitely a battlefield NOT to be missed!
