Yes, that is a big item in the paper today, but I think Sam pruett and Dave Foltz figured that out a few years ago, they just never published it. Proving once...
It appears Friday November 23 (Black Friday) will be the new date for the mini-muster at Antietam. If you wish to join us in stomping the battlefield (no...

Tom, I might be interested but can not say for sure at this point. What time would whoever attends gather and where would they gather? Yr. Obt. Svt. G E...
Gerry, We will certainly post final agenda as the date gets closer. I'd expect we'll meet at VC early, perhaps 8 AM. As the days are getting shorter, we'll...

Dear Tom, If you go Rte 15 South through Emmitsburg and then to Frederick and then get off Rte 15 onto Rte 40 and then Alt 40 to Boonsboro and then 64 to...
Tom, We may join you sometime during the day, as we walk Bomber over there on a regular basis. We have Steve's cell # and will locate you all if need be. Tom...
Tom McGrath's book on the battle of Shepherdstown has been released. The title is "Shepherdstown: Last Clash of the Antietam Campaign, Sept. 19-20, 1862" It...
I was just logging on to mention this book. You beat me to it. Dern, Just can't scoop Tom C. ;-) I bought the book at the Richmond Show today. I have not had a...
Greetings everybody. Happy Thanksgiving. We here in the Hagerstown Planning Department would like to put in a grant proposal to the Civil War Heritage Area...
It's been my understanding that you have the correct lot, but I recall reading that the house that stands on that lot is an entirely new building. I'll try to...
For what it is worth, When I was hired here in 1978 I met an older fellow who told me that HKD used to stroll through north end of Hagerstown in the evenings...
I've always found it interesting that no one has written a biography of HKD. Are there insufficient materials about him to justify a book or is it something...
Doug Bast has JKD's Diary, which would be a big help and not only has he sealed it,he will not allow anyone to look at it...from what I recall being told. Yr....
If that is the case it is a shame. The diary could be transcribed and the transcription sold by the musuem and the owner of the dairy would still have the...

Going through some manuscript collections here in Richmond some time past I came across an account (and off the top of my head, I can't remember if it was from...
Probably a little bit of both. As others have already stated, there are some manuscripts out there for researchers to use, but I'm not sure there's enough...
The two stories concerning HKD that I offen wonder about if true incidents or otherwise were: 1. He was arrested in Shepherdstown while trying to get a photo...
I hope someone someday does a detailed study of HDK's memoir in its entirety. The conventional wisdom is that the entire thing is a pack of lies. John Gordon's...
... In Douglas' obit in the N.Y. Times, the reporter wrote,"After the war Gen. Douglas was arrested for having his photograph taken in uniform and put in close...
He also was active and commanded, I think, the MD Nat'l. Guard. Or was he the JAG for it? Thomas G. Clemens D.A. Professor of History Hagerstown Community...
He sounds like quite the ladie's man. Stephen Nov 3, 1888 Messrs. H. Kyd Douglas and Charles Little addressed a large audience in the town hall on Saturday...
... Indeed. According to the obit I posted, there was a rumor going around in the late 1880s, early 1890s that Douglas was engaged to Nllie Grant Sartoris,...
