GOLDSBOROROUGH. Historic piece! INTERNET INFO: First Lieutenant Edward Yerbury Goldsborough enlisted on September 21, 1862, as a 22-year-old lawyer and was commissioned First Lieutenant in Company E, 8th Maryland Infantry. The regiment served in the Middle Department and was stationed at Maryland Heights overlooking Harper’s Ferry, a position of major strategic importance guarding the Shenandoah Valley corridor. Goldsborough later fought in the Battle of Monocacy (July 9, 1864) — the critical engagement often called “The Battle That Saved Washington,” where Union forces under Lew Wallace delayed Jubal Early’s advance on the capital. After the war, Goldsborough became State’s Attorney for Frederick County, Maryland, and authored the book “Early’s Great Raid.” His photograph is preserved in the Library of Congress (Gil Barrett Collection), confirming both identity and historical footprint. The 8th Maryland Infantry Regiment lost 3 officers and 54 enlisted men killed or mortally wounded and 70 enlisted men to disease during the Civil War. 1862 August Organized at Baltimore, Maryland under the command of Colonel Andrew W.
