Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of Leitersburg District, Washington County, MD: Including Its Original Land Tenure; First Settlement; Material, Development; Religious, Educational, Political, and General History; Biographical Sketches, Etc The plan of this work includes the original land tenure of the District, its first settlement, and material develop ment; the origin and growth of its churches, schools, and other institutions, and of the village of Leitersburg; and a series of biographical sketches, combining much Of the per sonal with the public history. The data have been Obtained almost entirely by original research, and not without diffi culty. Although more than a hundred and sixty years have passed since the settlement of the District, its history has been altogether neglected. The pioneers who first invaded its territory, removed the primeval forest, and initiated its development rest in unknown or forgotten graves, and even tradition is silent regarding the names of many of them. Early religious and educational effort in the community they founded is traced with difficulty, and much that would be most interesting regarding its general history is forever lost. It has been the author's earnest endeavor to recover all that was accessible, and neither time, labor, nor money has been spared in the effort to produce a comprehensive and accurate District history, valuable and interesting to the present generation and increasingly so in future years.
