Destiny would soon mark a new
trail over the Allegheny mountains.
Steel rails were being laid down
that year Of 1884. They would
ascend the Valley Of Crabtree and
they would reach new summit
in engineering and our destiny as
a people; a people who had been
longing for a new chance in the
western heart of America. Within
about fifteen years there would be,
as some say. "one hellabaloo"
going on at this cut on top Of the
mountains. at this place called
Altamont by some smart scholar
who knew his Latin and a gift for
applying it to spots where gangs
of wild Irishmen ripped their way
through rock and mud.
These comments concerning
Altamont may seem too far-fetched
and removed from facts. However,
when one is dealing with people
anywhere, it may be we'll to re-
member that fiction always tries
to be reasonable and like life"
The facts of existence as His
tory colors them run more to that
course described by a late and
perceptive philosopher on the
American scene, Mr.. Alfred North
Whitehead, who concluded =.
History exceeds all limitations
Of common sense.
In another issue Of The Glades
Star we hope to present rather
accurate account of the physical
aspects of Altamont town. AS TO
the people who lived there we
can only include a reasonable
guess as to their thoughts and
their contributions to our local
history.

We have Dccn told by other
writer's that Indian races travelled
over the Allegheny mountains
during the open seasons of the
year in search of game and in
fighting each other 1t is said that
the area we know as Green Glade
was a favorite hunting and sum-
mcr camping ground. As far as
we know, this is true and so is
everything else concerning that
PARKWAY period of human evolu-
ton when red men fought for
survival in these rough mountains.
We have it on general authori-
ty that about the year 1850 race
Of Indians called the Iroquois,
from what is now New York state,
came south and wiped out tribe
of Indians in this region called
the Fries, or Cat. Why the second
name Cat? Because these poor
devils had some glimmering of
right and wrong and drew red
line from the heart of their tribal
totem, the panther, to its mouth.
Thus, said the Fries, the seat
of the soul is III the neart and
from this organ is sent forth
through the mouth in words The
Iroquois ignored this suggestion
of civilized reasoning and pro-
ceeded to cut out the heart of
every Erie Indian they could
catch. Thus, we may as well leave
this welter of screams and blood
and begin looking for palefaces on
the slopes of the Alleghenies.
We are not long in finding them
after the year 1900 White men
came over the mountains to trade
with the Indians. The Gists. Cres-
APPS. Fraziers and McCulloughs
ignored the risk of sudden death
and found their way into the
Indian country. The white man
brought glittering goods the
Indians had never seen. They
brought whiskey in stone jugs.
The combination captured the
Imagination Of the savage.
These years Of probing the
American frontier we're followed
by a conflict Of French and Eng
fish commercial interests. The
Indians lined up on the side of
the French. They fought and won
for time. The combination sent

The land around Altamont and
of the town site itself was owned
by Wilson's and Hoyes. There was
a Mr.. Hoye who had a black
smith shop just across the lane

pieces of iron at the site where
the old shop stood This would
seem to have been in existence

crossed the railroad at Wilson.
Returning to the forks of the
connecting road, we find the right
hand branch passing through what
became Altamont. Beyond the
present William II. Schmidt house,
this road went down the hillside,
crossed over the railroad, after
1850, and passed toward Backbone
Mountain to join another early
road that came from the direction
of Boiling Springs and the Ryan
Glades community. At this point
we may as we'll admit that to
positively identify all the pioneer
roads in the vicinity of Altamont
is a fine example of history's
elaborate guesswork, which we
will leave to someone else.
Remember the surveyor Francis
Deakins, the man who first used
compass to fix the western
boundary of Maryland. and
failed? He ran a boundary all
right, but politicians and citizens
did not take his line as the west
ern boundary of Maryland. How
ever, this matter is far better
handled by MIR. Harold Fortney
in his Masters thesis on the, Fair
fax stone and boundary disputes.
To get back to Deakins.
The governor and Assembly of
Maryland on June II, 1887, COM
missioned Francis Deakins to run
off military lots ION the manors,
reserves and confiscated lands to
the westward of Fort Cumberland"
Mr. Deakins set to work near the
mouth of Savage river, and ended
up by having laid off and surveyed
1865 lots of about so acres each.
On one of these lots, Lot Number
1168. Altamont was later estab-
lished. The lots in question were
called Military Lots and offered
as bonus to soldiers of the Mary
land line in the Revolutionary
War We believe it was Charles E.
Hoye, Maryland historian, who
said only two lots were taken up
in this area by Revolutionary
i soldiers :. Dudley Lee and Michael
Paugh. However, the land specula-
tors had a high old time and no
doubt did the prospective pur-
chasers. 1t was -'caveat emptor"
for that deal and no joking
Someone tells us that they have
checked the County Land Map of
1874 and that Altamont was not
and is not on Lot Number 1853
at all Very true according to that
Land Map However the pres
ent Map Division of the County
| Department of Assessments is
working on correlating the old
surveys with present land owner
ship by aerial surveys and other
methods So records, such as deeds
and mortgages in the hands Of
property owners now living at
Altamont established the fact that
Altamont was on Lot Number 1853.
At the time Lot Number 1853 was
marked and numbered in the
Deakins Survey, there was prob
ably no town in Maryland named
Altamont There likely was a place
called Summit Point noted in his
report.
Summit Point appears to be
southeast of the present site Of
! Altamont 1t occupied Lots Num-
Der 1185 and 1856 and would seem
to lie on ground near the true
summit of the mountain about
where the present fire tower over
looks Altamont. This is named on
the Land Map of 1874.
In the local tradition of Alta
mont community there was a place
known as Summit before the com
ing of the railroad. Some men
have suggested that there was a
store at the point also and doing
business long before any store
opened at what is now Deer Park
