註釋

This book is divided into 50 sketches but there is in it the history of the town told through the lives of the men whose business ventures filled the needs of their times, the early churches and schools, the fashionable parties, the dashing soldier who ventured far and came back laden with victory and a rose bush in his saddlebag. Many colorful stories are here. Most of the men rest in the five old cemeteries within the town. Their descendants are scattered in all the States but here old houses still stand; inscriptions on mossy stones, old deeds and church records show the blood lines that had their American beginning here by the Potomac. -- Foreword.
