• Baltimore During the Civil War by Scott Sumpter Sheads & Daniel Carroll Toomey When the war came in 1861, Maryland would be on the fault line of secession no matter which government its citizens voted to support. Baltimore City with its transportation and industrial assets would be a valuable prize to whichever side could control her. It is no wonder that all but the most heated firebrands waited until every avenue of compromise was exhausted before choosing sides in a war in which they had much to lose and very little to gain. Never before have the people, places and events that occured in this great city between the years 1860 and 1865 been presented in one continuous story. The authors now proudly tell that story in Baltimore During the Civil War. More...........
