Description

A tender George Washington once roamed the peaks, Civil War infantrymen battled along the ridges, and bloody Prohibition skirmishes echoed a number of the dark hemlocks of Maryland’s Appalachian Highlands. Local columnist and outdoorsman Tim Rowland introduces the remarkable history of the mountains of Western Maryland, from the rocky members of the family of Native American citizens and early settlers and the Battle of South Mountain to the faded elegance of Gilded Age resorts and the approaching of the B&O Railroad. With a keen eye and dry humorousness, Rowland regales readers with tales of mischievous ghosts, presidential retreats, and intrepid hikers whilst celebrating the breathtaking attractiveness and distinctive culture of Maryland’s Appalachian Highlands.
