An excellent road, keeping mainly
along the course OF the Chesapeake
and Ohio canal, connects Harpers
Ferry with Washington, and it was
Early's first plan to take the route.
On the night of July { he way inform
ed that Wallace was collecting a
small force at M~onocacy, a station
on the Baltimore and Ohio railroad
thirty miles east Of Harpers Ferry.
Early was too wise a soldier to leave
an enemy in his rear and he changed
direction, proposing to wipe out Wal.
lace and then resume the march on
Washington, which he could easily
do, as far as the march was con.
cerned, by crossing the Potomac
where the Monocacy river enters II
at Edwards Ferry. On July S he
covered the distance between Har.
pers Ferry and Monocacy, and the
morning of the next day, Saturday
saw his 10000 men arrayed against
Wallace's 5000 eiicients. Wallace
had taken up III admirable defensive
position. The road on the western
side of the Monocacy river passes
close to a gentle.rising knoll that AZ
years ago was crowned by the resi-
dence OF Refer Thomas. 1t was or
this hill that Wallace posted his ar
tillery and infantry--he had no cav
alry-and awaited the attack. Their,
was before him nothing but the Ger
taInty Of defeat. but his orders wer,
to impede the advance of the Con
federates upon the capital, and nobl,
he executed them.
The battle began at . o'clock Ii
