Baltimore in 1869 was one of the largest cities in the country, with about 267,000 residents by the 1870 census. Its economy rested on the harbor at the mouth of the Patapsco River, on the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, whose main line ran from its downtown terminus toward the Ohio Valley, and on factories making clothing, tobacco, canned goods, and iron products. The city was still recovering from the Civil War, when Maryland stayed in the Union but Baltimore had seen deadly street fighting in 1861 and a divided public. Residents of the period knew the city for its brick rowhouses, its church spires, and its waterfront wharves, which a bird's-eye view like this one shows crowded with ships and rail lines.
