THE BALTIMORE S OHIO RAIL
ROAD AND THE CIVIL WAR.
1S6l-lS65.

1t was the first and most desirable
point of advantage coveted by both
the Federal and Confederate armies.
In May, 1851, the four Federal advance
columns, concentrated at Parkersburg,
w. Va, Wheeling, w. Va, Harper's
Ferry, W. Va, and at Washington.
To retain the advantage, the Federal
government established block houses
along the railroad from the Monocacy
to the Ohio river, besidesforts at Win
chester, Harper's Ferry, Cumberland,
Piedmont and New Creek tKeyser).
The B.&O. was the basis OF operations
for the Federal army for nearly four
years and from which the government
could not take advance line earlier
than November, 1854. The B. s. o.
was the means of communication be-
tween the West and the Army OF the
Potomac, and was consequently in a
continual state of siege, Harper's
Ferry, the key to the Shenandoah
Valley, first famed through the fanat-
ical attempt Of John Brown, in defy
ing the laws and customs Of his coun-
try, was captured or recaptured eight
times in three years, The Govern
ment Arsenal and armories which
were located there, were destroyed by
the government to prevent their cap
tuie. One hundred and Seventy-nine
battles of greater or less Importance
were tonight on or adjacent to the Bal
timore s Ohio railroad, not taking
into consideration the innumerable
skirmishes.
