Jubal Early's Raid on Washington 1864 by Benjamin Franklin Cooling (III) PDF Summary

Book Description: The fate of the nation hung in the balance for two hot July days in 1864. After two weeks of hard marching, Gen. Jubal A. Early had positioned his troops outside of Washington. General Robert E. Lee was relying on Early to relieve the pressure Ulysses S. Grant was putting on Petersburg. "Old Jeb" possess the right mix a brash independence and fierce loyalty to the southern cause to stage a convincing attack on the enemy capital - Mr. Lincoln's City. Jubal Early's famous "raid" was to be the last Confederate invasion, yet it's severely shook the Union leadership. President Lincoln drove out to see how things were going each day of the attack. Traditionally seen as a prelude to the Valley Campaign of 1864, the author asserts that the July battles for Washington and Maryland were possibly even more pivotal. For the Civil War historian and buff alike, this book provides a fresh interpretation of this fascinating episode in American history. -- Publisher.
