The Baltimore Il Ohio Railroad and

1t was the first and most desira BILE
point of vantage coveted by both the
Federal and Confederate armies. In
May 1861, 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, besides forts at
Winchester, Harper's Ferry, Cumber-
land, Piedmont and New Creek, Key
ser.) The B. & @. was the base OF
operations for the Federal army for
nearly four years and from which the
government could not take advance
line earlier than November 1864.
The B. & Q. was the means Of COM
munication between the West and
the Army of the Potomac, and was
consequently in continual state OF
siege. Harper's Ferry the key to the
Shenandoah Valley, first famed
through the fanatieal attempt OF
John Brown, in defying the laws and
customs of his country, was captured
or recaptured eight times in three
years. The Government Arsenal and
armories which were located there,
were destroyed by the government tc
prevent their capture. One hundred

If it should fail to go w. V. u.

even if it is represented the lads
from here on the basis of the rela-

capture a number of points. This
