Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Jonathan Hagar, the Founder of Hagerstown: A Paper Read Before the Society for the History of the Germans in Maryland, March, 1886 Mr. Wm. Eddis, from whose Letters from America, the above extract is taken, came to the province of Maryland in 1769, to fill an office in the gift of Governor Eden. By the law of the province it was necessary that he reside here three years before taking office. He spent a portion of these years in traveling in various parts of the country. His letters written to friends in England, and published in London, 1792, long after his return to that country, give us a most interesting and authentic account of the province at the period of his residence here from 1769 to 1776. After describing Frederick as observed in his travels west, he says, About thirty miles west of Frederick-town, I passed through a settlement which is making quick advances to perfection. A German adventurer, whose name is Hagar, purchased a considerable tract of land in this neighborhood, and with much discernment and foresight, determined to give encouragement to traders and to erect proper habitations for the storage of goods, for the supply of the adjacent country. His plan succeeded; he has lived to behold a multitude of inhabitants on lands, which he remembered unoccupied; and he has seen erected in places, appro priated by him for that purpose, more than an hundred comfort able edifices, to which the name of Hagar's Town is given, in honor of the intelligent founder. This passage was my first in troduction to Mr. Hagar, which resulted in the publication of a short article in The Tutor some years ago in which I brought together a few facts relating to him. Doubtless it was owing to this article that I was honored by a request to read a paper be fore you to-night. In doing so, I must beg you to remember that the material at my command is necessarily scanty, in isolated and widely scattered fragments, which can only be gathered by much patient labor, and often only by accident. There was during Mr. Hagar's life but one paper published in the province and that was engaged in the dissemination of foreign news more than in the recording of local affairs. Such facts as I have been able to gather I shall now lay before you, dwelling more at length upon those which appear to me to possess the most general interest, or to need explanation.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The preparation of "History of Western Maryland", one of the most voluminous works on the history of that party of the United States, imposed a vast responsibility and an immense amount of labor. In the compilation of this history no authority of importance has been overlooked. The author has carefully examined every source of information open to him, and has availed himself of every fact that could throw new light upon, or impart additional interest to, the subject under consideration. Besides consulting the most reliable records and authorities, over fifteen thousand communications were addressed to persons supposed to be in possession of facts or information calculated to add value to the work. Recourse has not only been had to the valuable libraries of Baltimore, Annapolis, Frederick, and Hagerstown, but the author and his agents have visited personally the entire territory embraced in the six counties of Western Maryland, spending much time in each district, examining ancient newspapers, musty manuscripts, family, church, and society records, conversing with the aged inhabitants, and collecting from them orally many interesting facts never before published, and which otherwise, in all probability, would soon have been lost altogether. In addition to the material partly used in the preparation of his " Chronicles" and " History of Baltimore City and County" and " History of Maryland," the author has consulted an immense number of pamphlets, consisting of county and town documents, reports of societies, associations, corporations, and historical discourses, and, in short, everything of a fugitive character that might in any way illustrate the history of Western Maryland. Sketches of the rise, progress, and present condition of the various religious denominations, professions, political parties, and charitable and benevolent institutions, societies, and orders form a conspicuous feature of the work. Manufacturing, commercial, and agricultural interests have also a prominent place. An account of the county school system is also given, and a history of the various institutions of learning of which Western Maryland has every reason to be proud. Many of the facts recorded, both statistical and historical, may seem trivial or tediously minute to the general reader, and yet such facts have a local interest and sometimes a real importance. Considerable space has also been given to biographies of leading and representative men, living and dead, who have borne an active part in the various enterprises of life, and who have become closely identified with the history of Frederick, Washington, Montgomery, Allegany, Carroll, and Garrett Counties. The achievements of the living must not be forgotten, nor must the memories of those who have passed away be allowed to perish. It is the imperative duty of the historian to chronicle their public and private efforts to advance the great interests of society. Their deeds are to be recorded for the benefit of those who follow them; they, in fact, form part of the history of their communities, and their successful lives add to the glory of the Commonwealth. A distinguishing feature of the work is its statistics of the various districts into which the six counties of Western Maryland are divided. In them the reader is brought into close relation with every part of Western Maryland. This is volume five out of six, covering Washington County (contd.) and Hagerstown.

Book excerpt: This history begins with the earliest brewers in the colony--women--revealing details of the Old Line State's brewing families and their methods. Stories never before told trace the effects of war, competition, the Industrial Revolution, Prohibition and changing political philosophies on the brewing industry. Some brewers persevered through crime, scandal and intrigue to play key roles in building their communities. Today's craft brewers face a number of very different challenges, from monopolistic macro breweries and trademark quandaries to hop shortages, while attempting to establish their own legacies.
