| Summary | "The Maryland Line in the Confederate States Army" by W. W. Goldsborough is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The book details the contributions and experiences of the Maryland troops during the American Civil War, particularly their role in the Confederate army. Goldsborough, a major in the Confederate States Army, offers an authoritative perspective on the valor and struggles of Maryland soldiers against Union forces, showcasing their dedication and hardships faced during the conflict. The opening portion of the text introduces the context of the Maryland Line's formation against the backdrop of escalating tensions leading to the Civil War. It begins in April 1861, capturing the sentiments of soldiers gathered in Baltimore as they resolve to fight for the Confederate cause amidst the looming threat of Federal occupation. Highlights include discussions among the soldiers about joining the Confederate army, the formation of the First Maryland Infantry, and their preparations for battle as they journey southward. Goldsborough emphasizes the pride and resolve of the Maryland troops, recounting their early military engagements and the camaraderie among soldiers as they confront the challenges of war.
