PhD Robert E. Oshel : Silver Spring and the Civil War (Civil War Series) before purchasing it in order to gage whether or not it would be worth my time, and all praised Silver Spring and the Civil War (Civil War Series):

2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. Wow, who knew?By Mary Elizabeth, MarylandWe've all read and heard the basics of the Civil War, but this is as close as battle got to Washington, DC. Focused on the DC suburb of Silver Spring, Mr Oshel discussed the local citizenry, the troop encampments, and all the skirmishes. Normally lost in the footnotes of history, this book focuses on what happened right here in our back yard. A must read for Civil War buffs and local residents.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Wonderful Local HistoryBy Janet ChaseI loved this book. Having grown up in Silver Spring, I could picture in my mind all of the sites that were mentioned. Also I was amazed at how much I had not learned in school about the action that had occurred right in my own back yard. I will order more copies to share with my SS friends.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Five StarsBy Marcia MednickSheds a lot of information about a little known but very important segment of the Civil War

On July 11, 1864, some residents cheered and others watched in horror as Confederate troops spread across the fields and orchards of Silver Spring, Maryland. Many fled to the capital while General Jubal Early's troops ransacked their property. The estate of Lincoln's postmaster general, Montgomery Blair, was burned, and his father's home was used by Early as headquarters from which to launch an attack on Washington's defenses. Yet the first Civil War casualty in Silver Spring came well before Early's raid, when Union soldiers killed a prominent local farmer in 1862. This was life in the shadow of the Federal City. Drawing on contemporary accounts and memoirs, Dr. Robert E. Oshel tells the story of Silver Spring over the tumultuous course of the Civil War.
