attention that its history and inn
portance to our great-grandfathers
deserves.
The Fort was made of hard lime
stone, with magnesium content, haul
ed from the mountain three miles
away. And they were set in an ex-
cellent mortar, so that the fort with
stood the elements of our storms
and winters for almost two CEN
turtles. Most of the walls have stood,
except where men have torn them
down.
Last week / was telling about the
part Fort Frederick played In the
war that ragged through our valley
one hundred years before the Civil
Wharf.-The war of Pontiac and the Five
Nations-the Indians determined to
Dust the White men. After the de-
feat of this effort, the menace of the
Indian retreated westward, and peace
reigned, with less and less thought
being given to the needs of the Fort
So in 1891 we find the Fort and the
land on which it stood, offered for
sale. It was bought for farm site
by one Robert Johnson, for the sum
of eighteen hundred dollars. The
Fort itself-that is the walls-were
not harmed at this time, but the
ramparts and the portals, of heavy
oak timbers, were taken, probably
for firewood The gates, opening
through the east wall, were twelve
feet wide, and hung on huge iron
hinges. One of these hinges was
kept at the owners home as a
souvenir for many years, and its
size-it weighed AZ pounds-indicates
the size of the original gates.
So the Fort went into private
hands, and was abandoned to the
vines and elms. Thus it lay, for
many decades, until the sound of
war again broke out over our land.
Guarding the Potomac River and c.
and o. Canal, the old Fort had real
! worth, and was soon occupied by
Northern troops Colonel John r.
Kenly commanded his First Mary
land Regiment in the Fort, and one
of the first things done was to break
a hole through the south wall and
plant cannon before it, thus taking
command of the river and the much
needed canal. This was six years af-
/ ter the time of the reports in the
j first part of today's column, and was
a most important time for the canal.
and one of the busiest. Indeed, the
canal played very important part in
the efforts of the Union, and was
constant target of the South. / have
told before about the repeated eff
forts to destroy the Dams that fed
the canal, along the border of this
County, and of their solid construc-
ton that withstood the attacks.
Going back just little, the bar
racks inside the Fort had been dis
, mantled, and the stone taken to build
the locks in the canal, just below the
Fort.
As far as can tell, during the
The globe-independent. (Hagerstown, Md.) 1943-19??, 1949-07-21

time that the Fort was used by
troops during the Civil War, it was
still owned by private citizens. AT
ter being bought by johnson in 1870,
it passed through several hands un-
til shortly before the Civil War, when
an emancipated Negro, Nathan Will
liams, bought it. He was highly
respected person, very successful
farmer, and he owned the Fort for
many years, raising tomatoes and
potatoes within its walls.
About the turn of the century
people began to take interest in pre-
serving this fine old Fort. For
twenty-five years petitions were
presented to the Legislature, COM
missions were appointed, but little
progress was made. But in 1922
the site was again bought by the
Government, the State of Maryland.
Under the care of the States De-
partment of Forestry, the old Fort is
being well taken care of and is a
popular place for visitors. Parts of
the Fort have been restored, but the
work has not been completed.
Around the Fort is a growing Me
mortal Forest, with succeeding
groves of trees dedicated to patriots
of the State. It would make very
interesting visit with the past if you
would 60 out and see Fort Frederick.

l am always glad to hear from my
readers and appreciate any contrl-
buttons in the way of material for
my column.
Revently some one sent me the
following interesting article about
the C & o. Canal, taken from the
Baltimore Sun of Jan. II, 1856, which
gives a summary of the activities
of the Canal for the two-year period,
1854-1855:
Chesapeake And Ohio Canal Trade
For The Past Years And Its Revenues
A comparative statement OF the
principal articles of commence trans
ported upon the Chesapeake and
Ohio Canal in the years 1854 and
1855, furnishes the following graft
flying results:

lumber, 1494 tons, plaster, 1898 tons;
groceries, SAB tons; salt, 1852 tons;

Ascending, 1855 - Fish, 98l tons;
groceries, 473 tons; salt, 2342 tons;
lumber, 1748 tons; plaster, 3774 tons;
total, 24,899 tons. Increase: salt,
400 tons; lumber, 254 tons; plaster,
476 tons; total increase, 6115 tons.
Decrease: fish, 70 tons; groceries, 70
tons.
Descending, 1854-four, 1858
tons; corn, 2618 tons; offal, 553 tons;
lumber, 1888 tons; pig iron, 20l tons;
coal, 145,319 tons; coke, 1888 tons;
wheat, SALT tons; total, 21F, 499 tons.
Descending, 1855-four, 1920

81; in 1855-$138,675.84. Increase in
tolls, 1855 over 1854, SIG, 369.81.
According to this report, the down
going trade was more than ten times
as heavy as the up-going. This
would indicate that the most of the
return trips were either empty or
very lightly loaded. In cases of riv-
er navigation, this would have been
an advantage, since the current of
the stream had to be overcome. But
not so in the canal, for there was no
current. AS l reported some time
