Another Marker in Front Royal

This historical marker in Front Royal stands near busy U.S. 340. During the Civil War, opposing Maryland Regiments faced each other near here.

Brother Against Brother


The First Maryland Regiment, U.S.A., was part of the force holding this town when it was attacked by Stonewall Jackson, May 23, 1862. With Jackson was the First Maryland Regiment, C.S.A. The two regiments were arrayed against each other.
