'No Retreat From Destiny: The Battle That Rescued Washington' from LionHeart Film Works & Historical Entertainment.
From the back cover:
In the summer of 1864, an 18,000 man Confederate Army under General Jubal A. Early tossed two smaller Federal forces aside in the Shenandoah Valley and crossed the Potomac River into Maryland. On July 12, 1864, General Early reached the very gates of Washington, D.C. - literally staring into the face of President Abraham Lincoln - soon missing the chance to capture the Union Capital by mere minutes. He was stopped in his attack by an event three days earlier, along the banks of a lazy Maryland river... The Monocacy. There, on July 9, 1864, Union General Lew Wallace cobbled together just over 5,000 soldiers to stop or slow the massive Rebel onslaught. The Union soldiers were routed after a fierce bloody struggle. This is the amazing and true story of the last great Confederate invasion of the north and the story of how close the Confederacy came to final victory in the third year of the Civil War.
