    by Joseph V. Collins (Author)

    The lightly studied heroic fighting that transpired at the iconic Jug Bridge was ancillary to the main and brutal fighting that took place that hot and sunny summer afternoon on July 9, 1864, at farms and bridges situated at Monocacy Junction; however, it still played a vital role in the overall defensive strategy of union General Lew Wallace.
