Early American settlers and county history tale from 1903
A long reminiscence covers the 18th century settlement of Jefferson County, detailing Yost Hite and Vanmeter land grants, early German and Pennsylvanian arrivals, Forts and ferries at Harper's Ferry, Antietam era battles, notable generals, and the lineage of local families. It blends historical notes with a reflective moralistic interlude and recounts legislative bills from West Virginia and a variety of anecdotes from earlier eras.
