Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The rails and covered bridges of Frederick County are framed by the waters of the Potomac River to the south and the Mason-Dixon line to the north. The county rests at a crossroads of Maryland cultures and history, and journalist Marie Anne Erickson sought out the oldest members of this diverse community to record their colorful stories. Twenty years after the articles appeared as the "Crossroads" series for Frederick Magazine, Ingrid Price has compiled her mother's fascinating essays for the first time. Stories of Civil War battles and Prohibition-era raids share the pages with memories of sledding by moonlight and the hunt for the mythical Snallygaster in Erickson's spirited history. From Brunswick to Mount Airy and from Emmitsburg to Point of Rocks, discover an affectionate and occasionally offbeat portrait of Frederick County.

Download or read book History of Western Maryland written by J. Thomas Scharf and published by Jazzybee Verlag. This book was released on 2020-09-08 with total page 693 pages. 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 three out of six, covering Frederick County (contd.), D.C., and Montgomery County.
Download or read book So We Move Along written by Historical Society of Frederick County and published by Publishamerica Incorporated. This book was released on 2006 with total page 353 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1818, Jacob Engelbrecht began recording events in and around Frederick, Maryland, in his diary. For nearly sixty years, he maintained a seamless chronicle of events, both important and trivial. First published by the Historical Society of Frederick County in 1976, his diary continues to serve as an essential resource for anyone studying life in Maryland in the nineteenth century. When Jacob Engelbrecht died in 1878, various family members took over the project of continuing his civic diary. His son, Philip, made a few entries, but he died within months of his father. Several more entries are contained at the end of the original diary, and Jacobs grandson, Lewis W. Engelbrecht, seems to be responsible for most of them. A few years later, Lewis, now twenty-three years old, stepped into the breach and started a new ledger, continuing the project from 1882 to 1891. He died prematurely of Brights disease at the beginning of 1891, and his younger brother, Jacob L., took over the pen. Young Jacob was only seventeen years old, but he kept the diary for five years, until the beginning of 1896. Both authors understood their task to be a continuation of the work of their grandfather and followed his style and form to a certain extent. Lewis began his work by calling it a continuation of his grandfathers diary and repeated its opening sentence. Jacob L. began his section with a reference to his grandfather and an ambitious pledge to continue the work to the end of his days.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since its founding in 1748, Frederick County has been home to some of the nation's most celebrated and dynamic historical figures. The quaint towns and farmlands with their serene mountain vistas of the Catoctin Ridge have played host to the likes of the famed Francis Scott Key and Thomas Stone, one of Maryland's signers of the Declaration of Independence. Later, Dr. John Tyler--Frederick's pioneering oculist--established his practice on the town's West Church Street and performed the first cataract operation in the region. Burkittsville's Outerbridge Horsey gained fame by producing over ten thousand barrels a year of America's finest rye whiskey from his warehouse distillery. In the twentieth century, beloved local educator Emily Johnson helped cultivate generations of young minds. With this collection of the best of his articles from "Frederick Magazine," local author John W. Ashbury profiles the most remarkable and fascinating figures in the history of Frederick County.
