Heritage Books, Inc.. New. Life in Charles County, Maryland, was marked by currents of change that would lead to two major events before 1900: completion of the Baltimore and Potomac Railroad in late 1872 led to the founding of La Plata, and the continuing effort to move the county seat from its two-century-old site on Port Tobacco Creek to La Plata's more promising location on the Pope's Creek Branch of the railroad The reader will find newspaper items of historical and genealogical interest, such as local events, marriages, deaths, court cases, and real estate listingsRoberta J Wearmouth(1990), 2010, 5½x8½, paper, index, 226 ppISBN: 9781556133534101-W0353

Heritage Books, Inc.. New. In 1898, the Port Tobacco Times and Charles County Advertiser merged with the La Plata Crescent, providing county Democrats with a steady and vigorous expression of their business and social views and tendencies for another 93 yearsThis volume of abstracts, the last in a series, takes the original Times newspaper up to the date of its consolidation with the Crescent The merging of the two weeklies found many Charles County people still reeling and bitter over the outcome of the courthouse removal controversy In 1896, the new courthouse in La Plata went into active service while the old one in Port Tobacco was marked only by piles of rubble, hidden by overgrowth and undergrowth The Baltimore and Potomac Railroad remained a prime mover of goods and services until well after World War I, remaining pivotal in the lives of most Charles County people Strong, heartfelt feelings about the relocation of the county seat would last until the Great Depression In addition to colorful… Read More

Heritage Books, Inc.. New. Volume 5 describes the decline of old Port Tobacco, which happened so quickly that in 1909 the Baltimore Sun newspaper described it as a ghost town After about two decades of political and social strife marked by great bitterness, the promoters of La Plata as the new county seat brought victory to their cause The Charles County courthouse in Port Tobacco was destroyed in a sensational fire in August 1892 All records stored in the main block of the courthouse, such as county commissioner’s minutes, school board records and the law library, were reduced to ash Fortunately, many of the records were duplicated in the newspapers, and are preserved in these abstracts Here you will find marriages, births, deaths, court records, real estate transactions, election results, names in the news, business notices and important local events A full name index completes this workRoberta J Wearmouth(1998), 2010, 5½x8½, paper, index, 354 ppISBN: 9780788410482101-W1048
