Book excerpt: Excerpt from Western Maryland in the Revolution The western frontier of Maryland advanced but little beyond the head of the tide water until the sturdy German settlers, coming down through the valleys of the Blue Ridge, settled the fertile valleys of Frederick and Wash ington counties. With their arrival, about the year 1735, a new and most important era opened in Maryland's his tory. Previously there had been no doubt concerning her alliance with the South in her economic, social and political life. This new and alien influence tended to join the province closer to Pennsylvania, and, as Western Mary land became more and more populous and as the city of Baltimore grew in commercial importance, largely through the influence of the same German settlers, there came to be a doubt in the minds of geographers Whether Maryland should be called a Middle or Southern State. The life on the Western Maryland farms was far different from that on the plantations of the Chesapeake Bay, and the people of the latter had many economic, commercial and senti mental ties to England, of which the Westerners knew nothing. After landing at Philadelphia, the Germans passed down the fertile lands of Lancaster and York coun ties and settled all along the valleys as far as northern Georgia. So many of them came that in 1748 Western Maryland could be made a county, under the name of Frederick. In this county was contained, down to the Revolution, all Maryland west of Baltimore, Anne Arundel and Prince George's counties.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Work of the Maryland Society of the Sons of the American Revolution: 1889 to 1902 The neglect of the State of Maryland to spend the few thousand dollars necessary to preserve its old Provincial, Colonial, and Revolutionary history, has resulted in the almost total ignorance by its people of the true facts in regard to the same. How many of its citizens know the truth of the settlement of Kent Island, years before Lord Baltimore landed at St. Marys? How many know of the old flourishing Providence Town on the north bank of the Severn, years before Annapolis was laid out, or even before it was thought of? So it is in regard to what is known as the Revolutionary War period, and when the true facts of those days are brought to their attention, they are astonished at the brilliancy of the record of the dear old State. Taught from the school books published in the North, their young brains have been crammed with pictures of the Boston Tea Party, and full descriptions, page after page; but the far bolder action of the young patriots of what is now upper Howard County and the section of Montgomery County joining it, when they forced the burning in broad daylight of the brig Peggy Stewart and her cargo of tea, by its owner in Annapolis harbor, comes to them now from the almost oblivion of the past, with such brilliancy as to force wonder. The go-ahead States of the thirteen original colonies, have long since published their old records and received the benefit from the same, but those of Maryland, or large numbers of them, are to be found scattered over the country, and in fact there rests in the custody of a certain institution of Baltimore City, a large collection of valuable revolutionary documents, that causes the searcher after truth to wonder how such State property could ever become private. When the bronze tablet that marks the site of Old Congress Hall or as known in "ye olden days," Jacob Fites' Tavern, at the corner of Baltimore and Sharp Streets was placed, one heard on all sides the remark, "Why I never knew the Continental Congress met in Baltimore." And yet within its walls during the winter of 1776 and 1777, when the Congress had fled from Philadelphia, was enacted the legislation that gave to George Washington the extraordinary power that made possible the success of the army, and gave liberty to the people.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Invasion of Maryland: And Other Verses The Invasion of Maryland The Shenandoah peacefully; Flows on its lovely way; Its placid bosom faithfully Reflects sweet nature's greenery This blue arched summer day. But down the valley flows a stream That puts fair peace to flight, An army from whose muskets gleam; In shattered sparkles morning's beam, And glints the evening light. 'Tis Early's forces hurrying on To pierce the nation's heart, To strike defenseless Washington Whose hosts by fatal chance have gone Wide as the winds apart. From out these marchers one we choose, Lieutenant Ashley was his name, His faded diary to use As subject to the pitying muse, To sing the soldier's fame.

Download or read book The Guns of September written by Alexander B. Rossino and published by . This book was released on 2019-09-15 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: September 1862.After John Pope's devastating defeat at Second Bull Run, George McClellan reconstitutes the Army of the Potomac and marches in pursuit of Robert E. Lee's invading Army of Northern Virginia. The Confederates have pushed north of the Potomac River into the border state of Maryland in search of one more decisive victory that might bring about Southern independence. Fortune smiles on "Little Mac" when a lost copy of Lee's orders falls into his hands, revealing the Rebel general's plan to divide his army and capture the Union garrison at Harper's Ferry. McClellan pushes his army and catches Lee by surprise at South Mountain, where he inflicts a decisive defeat that turns Lee's plan on its head and his army back against the Potomac for a final stand at Sharpsburg on September 17. The resulting battle could decide the fate of the nation.Alexander Rossino brilliantly weaves together these momentous hours in The Guns of September: A Novel of McClellan's Army in Maryland, 1862. Readers live the high-stakes drama through the gritty minutiae experienced by a host of historical characters--including a diligent General McClellan, the hard-fighting Joseph Hooker, a frustrated Ambrose Burnside, and the aggressive George Armstrong Custer. Rossino also displays a keen understanding of daily travails undergone by the common foot soldier, including experienced veterans from Ohio and greenhorns from central Pennsylvania.The Guns of September is a sweeping account, superbly written with a "you-are-there" sense that will linger with you long after you finish the book. It is a masterful conclusion to his earlier volume Six Days in September: A Novel of Lee's Army in Maryland, 1862, which is written from the Confederate perspective.

Book excerpt: The Stewards of West River is the story of a Norman's Retreat, a Maryland shipyard that served as the base for America's Navy during the revolutionary war. The story starts with John Steward. He was the first shipwright of the Steward family. When he died, his son Stephen Steward found his own site on the West River and built his own shipyard that operated from 1752 to 1792. Stephen designed and built warships for the Maryland Navy and Congress. The story of his shipyard is associated with the many services he provided for the Maryland Council of Safety. Norman's Retreat Shipyard is still around today, and the story of the Steward family is a classic American tale of perseverance in the face of ultimate odds.
