Wittenberg, EricTHE JOHNSON-GILMOR CAVALRY RAID AROUND BALTIMORE: July 10-13, 1864 Unveils the doomed attempt to free Confederate prisoners of war, shedding light on the intricacies of wartime strategies and the relentless pursuit of liberty. The mounted raid was a fascinating act of increasing desperation by the Confederate high command in the summer of 1864. The thundering high-stakes operation was intended to free the suffering of 15,000 Confederate prisoners held at Point Lookout, Maryland, a peninsula at the confluence of the Potomac River and the Chesapeake Bay. Compares and contrasts this raid to a pair of other unsuccessful attempts to free Union prisoners of war-the Kilpatrick-Dahlgren Raid of February-March 1864, and the Stoneman Raid on Macon, Georgia, of July 1864-as well as Gen. George S. Patton's attempt to free his son-in-law and other American prisoners in March of 1945. Contains 36 images and 4 maps.1 vol, 176 pgs 2025 US, SAVAS BEATIE NEW-dj, available late May 2025 ......$30.00 discount: :15% rct ..see our AMERICAN CIVIL WAR
