Book Description
Carefulness along with great skill in historical investigation and enviable talents in composition made this excellent history possible. Boyd Crumrine, with the help of several other gentlemen, took painstaking precautions to see that this book was as accurate and complete as possible. They deliberately chose to present original documents, in full or by quotation, rather than to paraphrase their contents in their own language. Very detailed oriented. The contents of this book is intended to portray the development of the county, side-by-side with the history of its past. It includes portraits and biographical sketches of representative men of each era, as well as illustrations of their homes and their surroundings, showing the county at the time this book was first printed in 1882.

Book Description
In Abandoned Tracks, W. Thomas Mainwaring bridges the gap between scholarly and popular perceptions of the Underground Railroad. Historians have long recognized that many aspects of the Underground Railroad have been mythologized by emotion, memory, time, and wishful thinking. Mainwaring’s book is a rich, in-depth attempt to separate fact from fiction in one local area, while also contributing to a scholarly discussion of the Underground Railroad by placing Washington County, Pennsylvania, in the national context. Just as the North was not consistent in its perspective on the Civil War and the slavery issue, the Underground Railroad had distinct regional variations. Washington County had a well-organized abolition movement, even though its members helped a comparatively small number of fugitive slaves escape, largely because of the small nearby slave population in what was then western Virginia. Its origins as a slave county make it an interesting case study of the transition from slavery to freedom and of the origins of black and white abolitionism. Abandoned Tracks lends much to the ongoing scholarly debate about the extent, scope, and nature of the Underground Railroad. This book is written both for scholars of abolitionism and the Underground Railroad and for an audience interested in local history.
