On July 11, 1864, some residents cheered and others watched in
horror as Confederate troops spread across the fields and orchards
of Silver Spring, Maryland. Many fled to the capital while General
Jubal Early's troops ransacked their property. The estate of
Lincoln's postmaster general, Montgomery Blair, was burned, and his
father's home was used by Early as headquarters from which to
launch an attack on Washington's defenses. Yet the first Civil War
casualty in Silver Spring came well before Early's raid, when Union
soldiers killed a prominent local farmer in 1862. This was life in
the shadow of the Federal City. Drawing on contemporary accounts
and memoirs, Dr. Robert E. Oshel tells the story of Silver Spring
over the tumultuous course of the Civil War.
