Book excerpt: Ever driven past an old house, a ruined pile of bricks and mortar, or an abandoned quarry and wondered what happened there? Probably not. But the ruins that remain from the past can be keys to unlocking the hidden history of a place. After Gary Clites finished his previous books, Ridgeley and Carpendale, West Virginia From 1750: A History and A Photographic History of Ridgeley and Carpendale, West Virginia, people kept contacting him to tell him about, or to ask about, historic sites in the Cumberland and Mineral County areas. Interested, he began researching the historic locations they talked about. The result was a journey through the small pieces of history that make up the legacy of the greater Cumberland area. This book details 43 historic places in the area: Historic homes, ruins of factories, abandoned quarries and kilns, even the possible discovery of a long lost French and Indian War era fort. Whether you simply read the stories of these lost places or actually get in your car and visit the pieces that remain, their locations and history are all included here along with 261 historic and contemporary photos and maps.

Book excerpt: From the unsolved to the unusual. From the historical to the hysterical. From the famous to the friendly. This is life in the Maryland mountains. Did you know that a Russian prince once worked as a priest in Cumberland? Have you heard the story about the German POW camp near Flintstone during WWII? Do you know about the mining wars that were fought to try and unionize the coal mines in the Georges Creek region? Do you know the story behind Cumberland's only lynching? Have you heard the story about the baseball game played between the Cumberland Colts and the New York Yankees? These are the stories of Allegany and Garrett counties in Maryland found in old newspapers, history books and other places. It's the stories of people who tamed the mountains, established cities, raised families and lived their lives. Journey back in time and look beyond the photos that so well document the region's history. This collection of 40 stories spans 220 years of life in Western Maryland. Originally published in the Cumberland Times-News and Allegany Magazine, some of these stories have been expanded as new information has been uncovered and new photos accompany some of the stories.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: " An essential resource for scholars, students, and all lovers of the Mountaineer State. From bloody skirmishes with Indians on the early frontier to the Logan County mine war, the story of West Virginia is punctuated with episodes as colorful and rugged as the mountains that dominate its landscape. In this first modern comprehensive history, Otis Rice and Stephen Brown balance these episodes of mountaineer individualism against the complexities of industrial development and the growth of social institutions, analyzing the events and personalities that have shaped the state. To create this history, the authors weave together many strands from the past and present. Included among these are geological and geographical features; the prehistoric inhabitants; exploration and settlement; relations with the Indians; the land systems and patterns of ownership; the Civil War and the formation of the state from the western counties of Virginia; the legacy of Reconstruction; politics and government; industrial development; labor problems and advances; and cultural aspects such as folkways, education, religion, and national and ethnic influences. For this second edition, the authors have added a new chapter, bringing the original material up to date and carrying the West Virginia story through the presidential election of 1992. Otis K. Rice is professor emeritus of history and Stephen W. Brown is professor of history at West Virginia Institute of Technology.
