ton in about 1900. The building
of the National Capital from that
time went on apace. The means
of transporting timber and heavy
building material were very poor
since there were no good high
ways, canals or railways. The
Chesapeake and Ohio Canal and
the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad
were not even begun until after
1927. For washington City, the
principal highway for bringing in
all kinds of supplies, both for
building and subsistence, was the
Potomac River. Below Washing
ton there extended to the ocean a
wide and deep channel, over which
it was easy for the boats from for
eign countries to sail and bring
to the people, their products.
The wants of the people were
not however, for long provided en-
tirely by foreign lands, but soon
as the country districts began to
produce goods ready market
was found in the city for every
thing and anything they could
make, or grow. For a long time,
however, the finer grades of cloth
ing, cutlery, guns, fine hardware,
dishes and so on were imported,
mainly from England. Lumber, |
wheat whiskey, wool and the
skins of wild animals were the
chief products brought down from
Western Maryland. All these, ex-
cepting the lumber, were brought
down the river in the boats be-
fore described. The return cargo
I'D the river was usually light on
account of the difficulty of poll
ing the boat upstream. Such
goods as salt, sugar, tea, firearms
and ammunition composed the up
Z stream cargo The Potomac River
is roughly divided into two parts.
That part extending from Wash
ington to the mouth of the river
is practically an arm of the sea.
Over this. large boats, propelled
by sails. or steam, may come to
the city That part of the river
extending from Washington, west
erlv- to it's headquarters, is an en-
tirely different nature, shallow,
rushing over rocks in places, thru
muddy flats, tortuous, sometimes
so low as to make navigation i'm
possible. It is believed, however,
that the stream was much more
regular in its flow at the time of
the first settlements, than now,
never becoming so low in summer
nor so high at flood periods. This
is explained by the fact that the
country was practically all in
forest. The water Of the rains
was held back by the natural bar
riers of the forest, and fed into
the streams much more gradually
than now, since the forests are
cut away and the whole country
is thoroughly drained Instead of
easy sailing on this upper river
the much more laborious method
of polling flat boats and navigat-
ing RATS was required to bring
the peoples produce to market.
Much of the timber required for
the building of Washington and
the other new towns along the
Potomac was cut along the upper
waters of the river. Some Of it
as far west as Washington coun-
ty. Like other products this was
fIoated down by water when the
river was high enough. The re-
gion along Licking Creek and also
along the Conococheague was the

When Washington County
Was Young
By
GEORGE r. PRATHER
written exclusively for The Hagerstown Globe


purposes.
The story of making and sailing
RATS, which was told to the writer
many times by his grandmother
who lived during that time and
saw them made and start away on
their journey to the great falls
above Washington, was of unfail-
ing interest. Few people are left
who remember these stories so it
seems to the writer that it might
be Of interest to tell how it was
done at this time.
A level place was selected upon
which to build the raft. This was
determined upon so that when the
water in the Creek was high
enough to float the raft it would
be the right time to start the
journey. Experience taught them
this. The raft itself was made as
follows: A platform of boards
from twelve to twenty feet long
was laid down upon the skids
Across these boards twelve feet
long were laid This length was
used because a raft wider than
twelve feet could not well be
guided through the narrow places
in the river. Some Of the sections
of the raft would sometimes be as
much as thirty feet long if timber
of that length was in demand. The
boards were laid on until the pile
was as much as six or eight feet
high, Behind this pile and about
three or four feet away another
such pile was made. Then hick-
orv poles were bent over the top
Of the first pile down under the
second pile, and over the top of
the second pile down under the
first pile, making sort of
knuckle between them, so that the
raft could accommodate itself to
the uneven flow of water in the
river. Other sections likewise
were added until sometimes as
many as five or more large piles
of lumber would be tied together
composing the raft. These Sec
tions were securely tied together
with hickory withes in order to
withstand the great strain of navi-
eating the turbulent waters. Fifty
thousand feet of lumber was con-
sidered a good sized raft, though
much more than that was often
taken on one voyage. -Four or
five men composed the crew.
When the water in the creek rose
enough to float them it was time
to go. 1t mattered not if 1t was
Sunday, fair or stormy. when the
raft floated they started their
journey.
Earth was placed on top and on
this a rude shack was raised.
This gave the crew some protec-
tion, since these voyages were
mostly undertaken in the early
sDring or winter. Fire was built
in the shack, the bacon and corn
cakes were cooked, and away
they went on what was considered
a merry jaunt. Arriving at Great
Falls the raft was broken up and
the lumber sold. The usual price
received for fifty thousand feet Of
nrime lumber was about $3.50, al
thought sometimes slightly more
than that was obtained. The men
then walked home. arriving back
on Licking Creek about two weeks
after the start of the journey.
