Aggiungi al carrelloSpiral/Comb. Condizione: New. No Jacket. Limited Edition Reprint Leavenworth. Early days in Garrett County, Maryland, are recalled through a mixture of colorful tales, factual data, and individual biographies in this 35-page excerpt from J. Thomas Scharf's History of Western Maryland, originally published in 1882 by Louis H. Eve…rts of Philadelphia. The booklet is printed one-sided on 8 1/2" x 11" paper. The front cover is an 80# card stock, protected with a vinyl sheet. Garrett County was created from part of Allegany County in 1872, so for the earlier part of this area's history you might want to obtain our history of Allegany County, MD. It is frequently listed on eBay. Among the subjects included in the Garrett booklet are: Location, a fairly extensive biography of John W. Garrett, the railroad man for whom the county was named, and of the Baltimore and Ohio RR which he rescued; Organization of the County; How "False Alarm" got its name; Physical features; First Court Proceedings; Government officials; histories of the various districts: Altamont and the towns of Altamont, Kitzmillersville and Swanton; Selbysport and the towns of Mineral Spring, Friendsville and Selbysport; Grantsville and the towns of Grantsville, Little Meadows, Tomlinson, Little Crossings, and Piney Grove; Bloomington, and Bloomington Village; Accident, and Accident village; Sang Run; Oakland and the town of Oakland; Ryan's Glades and Fort Pendleton; and Johnson's District; and other interesting bits of history and trivia, such as a very brief courtship, and the capture of a golden eagle. Attention Genealogists: This booklet is filled with names. In addition, there are individual biographies of notable county residents. These vary greatly in length. Among these bios are: Meshach Browning, the famous hunter, and Holmes Wiley another notable hunter; Patrick Hamill, statesman; the Stanton family; George Bruce, Caspar Durst, John Farrell. Henry Fuller, Adam Spiker, the Broadwater family, the Beschey family, Samuel Brown, Capt. Henry Brown, the Custer family (which included Gen. George A. Custer); Adam Schultz, and other Schultz family members; Dr. Bayard T. Keller, Conrad Whetzel, Thomas J. Peddicord, and H. Wheeler Combs.

Thomas Scharf's History of Western Maryland, originally published in 1882 by Louis H. Everts o…f Philadelphia. The book is printed on 8 1/2" x 11" opaque paper.

Attention Genealogists: This booklet is filled with names. In addition, there are individual biographies of notable county residents, some quite colorful. Among these bios are: John Hood, the Hughes family, the Lawrence family, the Tilghman family, Nathaniel Rochester, Thomas Hart, Nathaniel Rochester, the Wetzels and the Poes (famous Indian fighters), Maj.-Gen.

Thomas Scharf's History of…Western Maryland, was originally published in 1882 by Louis H. Everts of Philadelphia. The booklet is printed on 8 1/2" x 11" opaque paper. The covers are an 80# card stock, with the front cover protected with a vinyl sheet. Two more booklets on this area are (or soon will be) available. One concerns the History of Hagerstown and the other is a History of Washington County. Ever wonder why the District of Columbia was called the District of Columbia? Well, it's because that's what it was called when it was a part of the State of Maryland. Counties in Maryland are divided into districts, just as counties in other states are divided into townships. This booklet details the history of each of Washington County's various "districts." These histories are packed with information, such as church histories, lists of persons buried in various cemeteries (including Maryland soliders in Antietam National Cemetery), business enterprises, transportation improvements, and historic events, such as a visit by George Washington. The Districts are: Sharpsburg, site of Belinda Springs, Antietam Iron Works, and Antietam National Cemetery,; Williamsport, site of transportation improvements and early sports; West Hagerstown; Clear Spring; Hancock; Boonsboro; Cavetown, site of Raven Rock resort and of a large cave; Rohrersville, site of Elk Ridge Mountain, ; Leitersburg; Funkstown, largely settled by Germans; Sandy Hook; Tilghmanton; Conococheague; Ringgold; Indian Spring, site of Fort Frederick and Fairview Mountain; Beaver Creek; East Hagerstown, includes early marriages; Chewsville; Keedysville; Downsville. Most of the districts have towns or villages of the same name. Some of the towns not named for districts include Smithsburg in Cavetown District, Weverton in Sandy Hook District, Fairview in Conococheague District, and Smoketown in Beaver Creek District. Attention Genealogists: This booklet is filled with the names of settlers and early residents. In addition, there are many individual biographies of prominent citizens scattered throughout the booklet. There is no index, but we picked out the following: the Stonebraker family, Gov. Horatio Sharpe, Joseph Chapline, John P. Smith, Christopher Cruss, Dr. Augustin Asbury Biggs, the Grove/Groff Family, Jacob Miller, Otho Holland Williams, Theodore Embrey, Thomas Kennedy (poet), Joseph Henry Farrow, Samuel Lefevre, Van Lear family, the Findlay family, Charles William Humrichouse, Dr. Henry Zeller, George William Brown, John Barrett Kerfoot, Dr. Frederick Charles Doyle, William Cushwa, Rev. Benjamin Kurtz, George Harvey, Samuel Rinehart, John Breathed, Ann Mc Gill Williams, John Nicodemus, William Boone, Robert John Shafer, Christopher Smith, John Welty, Thomas South, Dr. William Henry Grimes, Moses Whitson, Launcelot Jacques, and Andrew Rench.

Aggiungi al carrelloSpiral/Comb. Condizione: New. No Jacket. Limited Edition Reprint. Extracted from a rare 123-year-old book, History of Western Maryland, this booklet gives a detailed account of the Civil War as it effected the people of Frederick, Montgomery, Carroll, Washington, Allegany and Garrett Counties. The original book was written by J.… Thomas Scharf in 1882. The NEW spiral-bound 147 page booklet is printed on 8.5" x 11" paper. The front cover is protected by a vinyl sheet. (Individual county histories, extracted from Scharf's book, are currently in production and will be available on eBay and through our website in the near future.) This booklet covers everything from emergency public meetings in reaction to the election of Abraham Lincoln to news of his assassination and the end of the war. As Scharf explains: "Public feeling was, perhaps, even more intense in Maryland than in other states, from the obvious danger to which she was exposed by her geographical position., and from the very strong counter-currents which existed in popular sentiment." The writer uses a variety of sources -- letters, newspaper accounts, recollections of those involved, and official data. Unfortunately the booklet has no index, but genealogical researchers will find a gold mine of names to sift through, both of civilians and military personnel. Some of the major military activities covered were Harper's Ferry, Battle of Leesburg, Manassas, Battle of Antietam (or Sharpsburg), Lee's Invasion of Maryland and Occupation of Frederick City, Battles of Crampton's Gap and South Mountain, Stuart's Cavalry Raid into Maryland and Pennsylvania, Confederate Occupation of Cumberland, Battle of Chancellorsville, Battle of Winchester, Pursuit of Lee through Maryland, Capture of the Ninth Maryland Federal Regiment, the Gettysburg Campaign, Early's Invasion of Maryland, Battle of Monocacy, Captures of Generals Crook and Kelly in Cumberland, etc. A separate chapter gives a "record of Maryland Volunteers in the Union Army of the War of 1861-85." The footnotes throughout the booklet add much color to the material. Here's a sample: A Washington correspondent who accompanied President Lincoln in this visit to the battle-fields of Sharpsburg and South Mountain relates the following incident: "After leaving Gen. Richardson the party passed a house in which was a large number of Confederate wounded. By request of the President, the party alighted and entered the building. Mr. Lincoln, after looking, remarked to the wounded Confederates that if they had no objection, he would be pleased to take them by the hand. He said the solemn obligations which we owe to our country and posterity compel the prosecution of this war, and it followed that many were our enemies through uncontrollable circumstances, and he bore them no malace, and could take them by the hand with sympathy and good feeling. After a short silence the Confederates came forward, and each silently but fervently shook the hand of the President.".

One concerns the History of Washington County, the other concerns the History of the Districts of Washington County. Both are taken from Scharf's history. Attention Genealogists: This booklet is filled with the names of settlers and early residents. In addition, there are many individual biographies of prominent citizens scattered throughout the booklet. A few include photographs.
