HTP EP 73: The Battle Of Monocacy Junction 1864 (&More) w/ Tracy Evans

July 01, 2024 • History Things Podcast • Season 5 • Episode 12

With July comes thoughts of Gettysburg, but 2024 marks the 160th Commemoration of the THIRD Confederate Invasion, the 1864 Monocacy Campaign! Fought just over a year after the more famous fight in Pennsylvania, the Battle of Monocacy is remembered as the "Battle that Saved Washington".

To better help the guys understand why that is, Pat and Matt spoke with Tracy Evans, who walked them through that campaign, the Battle of Monocacy, and people of Central Maryland. These details, and many more, help the guys better understand the importance of the battle and how it resonates to this very day!
