Text Appearing Before Image:
e rear of the Army of the Potomac, and eluded the vigorous pursuit of General Pleasontonand his Union cavalry. Within twenty hours he had marched sixty-five miles and kept up his artillery.Lieutenant-Colonel Edwin R. Biles, witli the Ninety-ninth Pennsylvania, opposed Stuarts crossing atMonocacy Ford, but was unable to detain him. This was one of the combination of events which finallycost McClellan the command of the Army of the Potomac. Lees invasion of Maryland in 1862 wouldhave been a complete surprise, except for the watchful vigilance of Lieutenant Miner of the Signal Corps,who occupied Sugar Loaf, the highest point in Maryland. From this lofty station were visible the moreimportant fords of the Potomac, with their approaches on both sides of the river. Miner detected the Con-federate advance-guard, then the wagon-train movements, and finally the objective points of their march.Although unprotected, he held his station to the last and was finally captured by the Southern troops.
