DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe fascination with the Confederacy and its heroes seems to grow ever stronger. Arranged chronologically and geographically, this book features descriptions of more than forty battles of the War Between the States, along with battle maps that show where the antagonists were located. The first section discusses and provides images from 1860 to Fort Sumter. The author then discusses battles that occurred in 1861 in northern Virginia and in the South and West, providing several photographs. The sections for the years 1862 to 1865 are arranged similarly and each also includes background about the Southern battle flags from various groups such as the Texas Rangers (8th Texas Cavalry) and the Confederate Navy. The book features a wide selection of rarely seen photographs of such Confederate heroes as Robert E. Lee, "Stonewall" Jackson, Jubal Early, Nathan Bedford Forest, A.P. Hill and Jeb Stuart, along with details of their military careers and personal lives that are little known to the average reader.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKSince 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.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKBloomfield was founded by Dutch farmers in 1691. The town grew in the 1700s, as the children of Connecticut Puritans, who had settled Newark, moved west to gain their own farmlands and build homes. The original township, formed in 1812, was 20.5 square miles and included Montclair, Nutley, Belleville, Glen Ridge, and the Woodside section of Newark. Aided by its location, excellent transportation facilities, and the availability of a large, skilled workforce, the town mushroomed from an agrarian community to a population of 47,000 with modern industries and attitudes.
