Mrs. Dandridge,s New Book

Mrs. Danske cambridge, our talented
fellow-townswoman, makes a valuable
contribution TO Shepherdstown's home
coming week-a new book, entitled
Historic Shepherdstown," which will
be issued in few days. Mrs. cambridge
has had in mind the writing OF this book
for number OF years, and at last has re-
allied her ambition in having collected
and printed the many valuable and inter
estiug facts OF our towns history. We
are sure that many of our people, as well
as the descendants of settlers OF early
days who are now scattered abroad over
the face OF the earth, will be glad to secure
copy of this valuable book, which will
be sold at two dollars. The fore-word
of the book says:
This is an account OF the founding OF
Shepherdstown, the first settlement in
the Valley OF Virginia, and OF the SOL
dierS OF the Revolution who enlisted at
ShepherdStown and in old Berkeley coun-
ty, which at the time OF the Revolution in
Guided the counties Of Jefferson and Nor
gan. 1t describes the march to Cam
bridge in l775 Of the riflemen under Cap
tain Hugh Stephenson, and their expert
enceS during the siege OF Boston in 1856.
1t also gives the muster roll OF Captain
Shepherds company raised at Shepherds
town in l776, and tells their sad fate as
prisoners in New York. 1t describes the
movements OF the Berkeley County Mill
tia, and gives unpublished letters from
Patrick Henry, Thomas Jefferson, Will
liam Davies and many more, to the coun
ty lieutenant OF Berkeley, Colonel Van
Swearingen. II follows the fortunes OF
the Berkeley county troops, and gives
many facts never published about the
town during the Revolution. There is a
chapter on James Rumsey, the inventor
OF the steamboat, and one on General
William Darke. 1eo one on the old
newspapers and printers. Not wish
ing to include the history Of Shepherds
town during the nineteenth century, the
writer concludes with an account Of the
veterans of ITS at StephenSon'S Spring
in 1925.
