Monocacy, battle of On July 5, 1864, Gen. Lewis Wallace (q. v.), in command of the Middle Department, with his headquarters at Baltimore, received information that Gen. Jubal A. Early (q. v.), with 15,000 or 20,000 Confederates, who had invaded Maryland, was marching on Baltimore. Already General Grant had been informed of the invasion, and had sent General Wright, with the 6th Corps, to protect the capital. Gen. E. B.

There was a sharp fight near Frederick that day (July 7, 1864), and, at 6 P. M. Gilpin's regime
