- On June 15, 1863, Maj. William Worthington Goldsborough and his men in the Confederate army's 2nd Maryland Infantry captured Star Fort, part of the U.S. defenses of Winchester, Va. They took possession of its and about 200 enemy troops. According to one account, among the prisoners was Goldsborough's brother, Charles, the surgeon of the 5th Maryland Infantry. This is just part of Goldsborough's war story.

Can you imagine finding out your brother is one of the prisoners? Life on the Civil War Research Trail is always full of amazing facts that highlight the complexity of that war. Thank you for this episode!
Funny how it goes. My great grandfather’s brother fought in WW1, survived and was later killed at 42 years old in a traffic accident .
…. or my Uncle Bob who flew a SBD dive bomber, had his gunner shot dead, and survived the war to die from a malpractice dentist tooth infection.
… a great story. I am slowly growing a sense of awe about the plans the Confederacy had as an independent country. A fine quote on his last days. His death from a bicycle accident reminded me of Lawrence of Arabia who died of a bicycle-motorcycle accident, years later, in 1935, near his home in Dorset, England.
Very interesting story, thanks again. I look forward to your videos every week.
Ron thank you for this excellent story! I really enjoyed this story very much! I always can't wait to hear your posts! Keep up your great work!
Superb video.
Those damn bicycle-ridin’ Yankees
Run your great historian you bring things to light that I thought I knew about but I really don't 👍🍀🍀🍀 thank you sir!!!
I lived in Winchester VA and our neighbor was proud of the fact that he had never been further into Yankee territory than Baltimore and that was only once.....
👍👍👍👍👍
Salute.
Understandable. Considering the Yankees had profited so much from king cotton (google Berkshire Hathaway for example); used scorched earth tactics to win; and then abandoned the abolitionist cause by stranding the freed slave in the south without reparation support. And yes I count Robert H Milroy as my distant ancestor/kin. He was the one staunch abolitionist union officer who the south wanted to hang on sight. He was quite the character and perhaps in part responsible for Lincoln's despairing move to put in Meade. Could Milroy's defeat have been Lee's doom?
The reality is Maryland stayed in the Union. And more Marylanders fought for the Union than for the Confederacy. And it was the confederate defeat at Antietam Maryland that gave rise to the Emancipation Proclamation. Maryland definitely played its part in crushing the confederacy during the War of the Rebellion. Respectfully, W.S.
Yeah and we've had he'll ever since thanks but no thanks respectfully
yeah. gee thanks, Maryland
Most Marylanders that fought for the union we're either from western Md or recent immigrants. The despots heel is on the shore. Marylanders took that despot out. True Marylanders will be proud of their position south of the mason Dixon line
