Summary
"These are the accounts of citizens and soldiers who described Civil War events in Carroll County, Md., as they saw them during the war years a century ago. They are eye-witness accounts for the most part, by people who were there at the time and who were the very first to begin recording the history of the war. No other event in American history produced so much documentary material from so many individual sources as did the Civil War. The tremendous emotional impact of this gigantic conflict between Americans, who had lived in a state of comparatively peaceful and romantic isolation from anything so incomprehensible as an ideological war, inspired tens of thousands of both literate and illiterate soldiers and civilians to record the most minute details of their daily experiences, as though they thought posterity would never believe that mankind could produce such vast and terrible chaos"--Preface.
A new Spanish and English dictionary : collected from the best Spanish authors, both ancient and modern : containing several thousand words more than any other dictionary, with their etymology; their proper, figurative, burlesque and cant significations, the common terms of arts and sciences , the proper names of men, the surnames of families and an account of them, the titles of the nobility of Spain, together with its geography, and that of the West Indies, with the names of such provinces, towns and rivers in other parts which differ in Spanish from the English : also above two thousand proverbs literally translated ... : to which is added, a copious English and Spanish dictionary, likewise a Spanish grammar, more complete and easy than any hitherto extant
" The underground railroad—with its mysterious signals, secret depots, abolitionist heroes, and slave-hunting villains—has become part of American mythology. But legend has distorted much of this history. Larry Gara shows how pre-Civil War partisan propganda, postwar reminiscences by fame-hungry abolitionists, and oral tradition helped foster the popular belief that a powerful secret organization spirited floods of slaves away from the South. In contrast to much popular belief, however, the slaves themselves had active roles in their own escape. They carried out their runs, receiving aid only after they had reached territory where they still faced return. The Liberty Line puts slaves in their rightful position: the center of their struggle for freedom. "
