One of the things l would like to
do this summer is to visit the bridges
of the Antietam and take photo of
each-at least the ones that are yet
standing. For some reason bridges
are romantic and interesting and APP
peal to ones imagination, especially
the old stone ones and the covered
bridge. On quite few of the bridges,
near the center, is an inscribed stone
bearing the names of the builders. l
would like to check sometime and
see how many names have figured in
past columns of the Horse and Bug
gy Days.
The turning of the 1905 found a
settled community in the valley of
the Antietam. Many men who had
fought in the Revolution had now
returned and started cultivating
again. The county seat had grown
into a good sized town and indus
tries were started. With the sea-
ports to the east, and prairie country
to the west, it gave Hagerstown
good opportunity for trading. This
made the settlers anxious for better
means of travel and communication.
So in 1917 an act was passed author
izing a company to build turnpike
road from Hagerstown to the Con-
colleague Creek. This was start
and led to the building of the turn
pike road from Baltimore to Hagers-
town.
In 1919 the road west of Hagers-
town was built and beautiful stone
bridge was erected, and is still
standing, at a place we know as Will
son, along Route 40. This bridge,
built by Silas Harry, was the initial
bridge and has set the standard for
those which were later to be built
across the Antietam. We might note
here that the land along the An
tietam Creek was known as the An
tietam Hundreds, because the land
was divided off into plots of 100
acres.
Between the years of 1922 and
1882 six stone bridges were built
across the Antietam. One at Funks-
town, another near Sharpsburg at
the Orndorff mill, two near Letters
burg, one the Hit bridge near
Keedyville and another at the Iron
Works near Sharpsburg. The two
near Leitersburg have been torn
down to make way for what are
supposed to be better bridges.
The building of these bridges call
ed for bricklayers and stonemasons.
Finding themselves in great demand
they combined to protect their in
terests and we find here the begin
ming of trades unions. Advertise
ments called for the meeting of
"bricklayers and stonemasons" to

form rates and regulations, and to
govern misunderstanding and UNI
derbiddings.
About this same time it was de-
cided that the Antietam could be
made more useful for navigation by
building locks, so that merchandise
and produce could be shipped down
the creek to the Potomac River. No
tees were run in the papers adver-
Using for master masons" that
could be depended upon and for
those who could hire enough laborers
so that one or more locks could be
completed each season. Each lock
was to contain about four hundred
perches of stone work. Later there
was an announcement to the sub
scribers to the Antietam Loan that
''the first installment of one fifth
was payable at the HagerstoWn Bank
and that a number of locks were al
ready contracted for, and the work
was progressing"
Although this work was not COM
pleted, the idea did not die out. An
other plan was made to unite the
headwaters of the Conococheague
and the Antietam, making the Con-
ococheague navigable as far as Cham
bersburg. This project was never
completed either.
Although these two plans did not
work out there was still interest
shown in using the Antietam to the
best advantage. A company was
formed for stocking it with fish not
found in its waters. At a special
meeting they discussed the fact that
this experiment had already proved
successful in the States of New York,
Connecticut and Vermont.
A bill was then introduced in the
Maryland Legislature and an Act
passed called can Act for the Pres
ervation of the Breed of Fish in the
Antietam Creek" Several kinds
were chosen and this new project
was given protection by Legislature.
It was forbidden to fish with nets,
baskets or gigs, nor were fish-pots
to be erected as far up the stream
as the first dam on the Antietam.
The only equipment to be used was
an angling rod.
Also, if any free person should
whip or beat the waters in the An
tietam Creek or its tributary streams
with polls or sticks, or other things,
for the next three years, there was
forfeit of ten dollars, one half of
which was to go to the informer and
the other half to the Charity School
Fund"
The penalty for a slave violating
the fishing law was ten lashes on the
bare back, or his master could pay
the ten dollars.
