    Read Kendall W. Gambrill's History of Highland

    History of Highland Kendall W.Gambrill History of Maryland January 19, 1965 here is nothing altogether earth shattering about Highland. T Neither is there any momentous event in its history. The fate of no army was decided by where Josh Disney emptied his chamber pot. No government fell when Mrs. Dentz sang out her hymn on A windy March morning. Yet, the events alluded to and the many Others which, added to them, make the history of Highland are Worthy of being recorded. History is the story of man. The History of Highland is a tale taken from that story. There are two elements to this history. One is the physical Setting, and the other is the people associated with that setting. Highland is located North 39° 11’, West 76° 57’. To the south Lies the Patuxent river. Highland extends several miles north- East of the Patuxent for about three miles along its length. There being no official boundaries, one is left with determining For oneself just where Highland ends and some other community begins. The land is in the gently rolling lower Piedmont. As the most conspicuous topographical feature of the area, The Patuxent river attracted the attention of the first of our Species in the area - the Indians. The Indians gave it the name It now holds. In their tongue the name means “Small Descending Waters”.1 Although these Indians, the Piscataways, lived in Southern Maryland, it is evident that they were familiar with The length of the Patuxent valley by the name they gave to this river.

    Gthe Emancipation of Slaves

    The Emancipation of Slaves in Civil-War Maryland: An American Epic Scott Harrison Ness Haverford College Senior History Thesis Spring 2008 Advisors: Emma Lapsansky-Werner and Sharon Ullman Acknowledgements My advisors, Emma Lapsansky-Werner and Sharon Ullman, played integral roles in both the shaping and execution of this thesis. Without their patience and enthusiasm, I would never have made it this far. My parents provided moral support during this yearlong ordeal, without which I would have likely driven myself insane. My father, a former history major himself and knowledgeable about the history of Maryland, provided the initial inspiration to examine this period in the state’s past, and introduced me to the Maryland Historical Society. My mother read every draft before submission and offered constructive feedback and criticism (often deservedly harsh). For this, words cannot express my sincere gratitude. This thesis is lovingly dedicated to my cat Annie. Neither blue nor grey, she is the quintessential lost Marylander who struggled to find a place in the divisive country. 1 Table of Contents Introduction ...………………………………………………...3 Chapter 1 Slavery and Civil War in Maryland: A State Torn …...............................................7 Chapter 2 The Invention of Language ………………...18 Chapter 3 1863: A Turning Point in Maryland Politics ……………………………………...32 Chapter 4 1864: Freedom and Reelection ……………..55 Conclusion …………………………………………………..68 Bibliography ………………………………………………...74 2 Introduction The coming [constitutional and] Presidential [elections are] not…mere [contests] between political parties to determine whose candidate and whose adherents shall exercise power during the next four years.

    G ^ MARYLAND HISTORICAL MAGAZINE VOL. XXXVII SEPTEMBER, 1942 No. } BARBARA FRIETSCHIE By DOROTHY MACKAY QUYNN and WILLIAM ROGERS QUYNN In October, 1863, the Atlantic Monthly published Whittier's ballad, "' Barbara Frietchie." Almost immediately a controversy arose about the truth of the poet's version of the story. As the years passed, the controversy became more involved until every period and phase of the heroine's life were included. This paper attempts to separate fact from fiction, and to study the growth of the legend concerning the life of Mrs. John Casper Frietschie, nee Barbara Hauer, known to the world as Barbara Fritchie. I. THE HEROINE AND HER FAMILY On September 30, 1754, the ship Neptune arrived in Phila- delphia with its cargo of " 400 souls," among them Johann Niklaus Hauer. The immigrants, who came from the " Palatinate, Darmstad and Zweybrecht" 1 went to the Court House, where they took the oath of allegiance to the British Crown, Hauer being among those sufficiently literate to sign his name, instead of making his mark.2 Niklaus Hauer and his wife, Catherine, came from the Pala- tinate.3 The only source for his birthplace is the family Bible, in which it is noted that he was born on August 6, 1733, in " Germany in Nassau-Saarbriicken, Dildendorf." 4 This probably 1 Hesse-Darmstadt, and Zweibriicken in the Rhenish Palatinate. 2 Ralph Beaver Strassburger, Pennsylvania German Pioneers (Morristown, Penna.), I (1934), 620, 622, 625; Pennsylvania Colonial Records, IV (Harrisburg, 1851), 306-7; see Appendix I. 8 T.

This forum, is the first step in the process of drafting a county Historic Sites and Districts Plan by the commission. (See next article). The purpose of the forum is to receive public testimony on historic preservation in Prince George's county. Among the questions to be addressed are these: How important should historic preservation, restoration, rehabilitation, and revitalization be to Prince George's County? What should the objectives and priorities of a historic sites and districts plan be? What should be the relative roles of County government and private enterprise be in historic preservation and restoration? To what extent should the destruction of historic landmarks be regulated and their restoration or preservation subsidized? How should historic preservation relate to tourism, economic development, and revitalization? Where should the responsibility rest for making determinations about the relative merits of preserving and restoring individual sites? Members of the Historical Society, as well as others interested in historic preservation and its impact on county life, are invited to attend and, if they like, to testify.

    A Brief History Concerning Prince George's County, Maryland

    A Brief History concerning Prince George’s County, Maryland by Tammy Loxton Thomas Paone Amanda Rowley December 4, 2008 2 In 1608, Captain John Smith described the landscape of what would become Maryland thus, “All the Country is overgrown with trees.” This land looked like England: “And so it must have seemed to men who carried with then the recollection of England’s green and pleasant land, dotted with fields and pastures, laced with roads and pathways. Only here and there had the native Indians cleared patches for corn and vegetables and built their huts, or wigwams. These Indians proved friendly; when they shortly agreed to quit the area peaceably, leaving their fields and dwellings to the adventurers, Father [Andrew] White exclaimed, ‘The finger of God is in this.’” 1 The Founding of Maryland and Prince George's County Maryland is one of the original thirteen states on the Eastern Seaboard. “Its small size belies the great diversity of its landscapes and of the ways of life that they foster, from the low- lying and water-oriented Eastern Shore and Chesapeake Bay area.” 2 Maryland’s current size is 10,454 square miles and has an estimated population of 5,618,344 people. Much has changed from 1634 when the first permanent settle was established, but diversity in landscape and inhabitants still exists. Prince George’s County, Maryland was founded in 1696. It is located in south-central Maryland on the Potomac River, close to the District of Columbia. It was named for Prince George of Demark, husband to Princess Anne, heir to the English throne.
