Book excerpt: The text consists of the annual records compiled by historian William Henry Farquhar for the Lyceum Company of Sandy Spring in Montgomery County, Maryland, north of Bethesda. Farquhar's annals provide an intimate portrait of this rural Maryland community at a time of great transition, 1863-1883. The introductory chapters provide a historical overview of Sandy Spring in the days of its early settlement, noting early land owners, local Indian tribes, flora, fauna, agricultural concerns, the influence of Quakers on the community, emancipation and the establishment of the Lyceum Company, a literary and historical society organized in the early 1860s by the local farmers "desirous of improving their minds while cultivating their farms." Each subsequent chapter relates a year's worth of Farquhar's reminiscences, detailing a diverse selection of events which effected the community and providing brief obituaries for those who passed away during that time. Topics of interest include: the Confederate invasion of Maryland and battles near Sandy Spring; farm and soil improvements; new school buildings; new roads and the Metropolitan Railroad at Rockville; fires and flood; Quaker meetings; telegraphs and telephones; barn raising; the dairy industry; the Farmers Convention; the immigration of Baltimoreans; aid rendered to yellow fever victims; sanitation and much more. A new index of full names has been compiled for this edition.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Annals of Sandy Spring: Or Twenty Years History of a Rural Community in Maryland The persons of whom the company was composed were chie y, though by no means exclusively, members of the Society of Friends, settled over the southeastern part of Montgomery County, Maryland. These primitive settlers of Sandy Spring neighborhood were confined within no precisely defined limits, but were linked to gether by the ties of similarity in birth, education, and manner of living; without which, the attempt to con dense the interests and incidents of ordinary life into one chronicle must be fruitless.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1826 thirty-year-old Anna Briggs Bentley, her husband, and their six children left their close Quaker community and the worn-out tobacco farms of Sandy Spring, Maryland, for frontier Ohio. Along the way, Anna sent back home the first of scores of letters she wrote her mother and sisters over the next fifty years as she strove to keep herself and her children in their memories. With Anna's natural talent for storytelling and her unique, female perspective, the letters provide a sustained and vivid account of everyday domestic life on the Ohio frontier. She writes of carving a farm out of the forest, bearing many children, darning and patching the family clothes, standing her ground in religious controversy, nursing wounds and fevers, and burying beloved family and friends. Emily Foster presents these revealing letters of a pioneer woman in a framework of insightful commentary and historical context, with genealogical appendices.

This book was released on 2022-04-25 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Montgomery County's Agricultural Reserve, created in 1980, was a history-making decision that is a model for land preservation. Montgomery County's earliest residents, Native Americans, developed agricultural communities and used the shores of the Potomac as a trading spot. European settlers farmed tobacco, eventually collapsing the County's economy until the Quaker community returned fertility to the land. The C&O Canal was the nation's first significant infrastructure project and helped create links to national and international markets. In the 20th century, the Marriott chain developed contemporary, industrialized food that signaled a changing world. The Agricultural Reserve was intended to preserve the county's rural past in the face of rapid change. Along with farming, it also preserved history and foodways. Claudia Kousoulas and Ellen Letourneau tell this agricultural history through food and recipes.
