Author and Hagerstown city planner Stephen R. Bockmiller inserts the reader into Hagerstown at a time when the nation was imperiled and the city was in the way of two warring armies. Showcasing images from the collections of the Washington County Historical Society, the Washington County Free Library, and other collections, this illustrated history will be a welcome addition to the collections of Hagerstown history buffs, Civil War enthusiasts, and area visitors alike.
