Download or read book Hidden History of Cumberland County written by Joseph David Cress and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2013-09-03 with total page 159 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The rolling fields and quiet towns of Cumberland County, Pennsylvania, belie its dynamic history. From slaves who escaped to freedom through Underground Railroad stations in Shippensburg and Boiling Springs to a telephone-like invention created by Lower Allen's Daniel Drawbaugh a full decade before the patent of Alexander Graham Bell, the pages of Cumberland County's history conceal long-forgotten but true tales. There are numerous but often-overlooked contributions from county residents--from 1920 to 1923, Newville hosted the first state police academy in the nation, and during World War II, a humble bandage invented in Carlisle saved countless lives. With an engaging collection of vignettes, author Joseph David Cress explores these and other hidden tales from the history of Cumberland County.
Download or read book Cumberland Island written by Mary R. Bullard and published by University of Georgia Press. This book was released on 2005-01-01 with total page 492 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cumberland Island is a national treasure. The largest of the Sea Islands along the Georgia coast, it is a history-filled place of astounding natural beauty. With a thoroughness unmatched by any previous account, Cumberland Island: A History chronicles five centuries of change to the landscape and its people from the days of the first Native Americans through the late-twentieth-century struggles between developers and conservationists. Author Mary Bullard, widely regarded as the person most knowledgeable about Cumberland Island, is a descendant of the Carnegie family, Cumberland's last owners before it was acquired by the federal government in 1972 and designated a National Seashore. Bullard's discussion of the Carnegie era on Cumberland is notable for its intimate glimpse into how the family's feelings toward the island bore upon Cumberland's destiny. Bullard draws on more than twenty years of research and travels about the island to describe how water, wind, and the cycles of nature continue to shape it and also how humans have imprinted themselves on the face of Cumberland across time--from the Timuca, Guale, and Mocamo Indians to the subsequent appearances of Spanish, French, African, British, and American inhabitants. The result is an engaging narrative in which discussions about tidal marshes, sea turtles, and wild horses are mixed with accounts of how the island functioned as a center for indigo, rice, cotton, fishing, and timber. Even frequent visitors and former residents will learn something new from Bullard's account of Cumberland Island.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Situated along the Delaware Bay and first inhabited by the Lenape Indians, Cumberland County has a rich agricultural and industrial history. After the Revolution, Swedish, Danish and English immigrants were soon joined by others from across Europe and around the world. The Cohansey and Maurice Rivers flow through the county, uniting its cities and towns. They have distinguished histories of their own--Greenwich was a major port of entry in colonial America; Port Norris was the "oyster capital of the world" in the 1800s; and Seabrook Farms was the country's biggest vegetable factory. In 2013, the county celebrates its 265th anniversary. Join the people of Bridgeton, Millville, Vineland and the rest of Cumberland County to explore the stories from its past.

Download or read book History of Cumberland Maryland from the Time of the Indian Town Caiuctucuc in 1728 Up to the Present Day Embracing an Account of Washington s First Campaign and Battle of Fort Necessity Together with a History of Braddock s Expedition written by William Harrison Lowdermilk and published by Genealogical Publishing Company. This book was released on 1971 with total page 594 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It was the author's aim to embody in as comprehensive a form as possible all that could be learned of Cumberland and its adjacent area in Western Maryland, and he succeeded admirably. Emphasis is on the pioneer, political, and military history of Cumberland, particularly the latter, which includes a description of Washington's first campaign, the Battle of Fort Necessity, Braddock's Expedition, and a history of the area during the period of the Civil War. In addition to the conventional, and to some extent routine, accounts of churches, roads, and businesses, the work also contains a verbatim transcription of General Braddock's Orderly Books, which are invaluable for an appreciation of events leading to the Revolutionary War.
