Descendants"?A History of Frederick
county, Virginia. T. K. Cartmell, Clerk
of old County Court. Large octavo,
587 pp. $5.00 postpaid. T. K. Cartmell,
Winchester, Va.
Of all the hooks of local history in
Virginia or elsewhere, we know of none
so comprehensive, so full of true and
lasting historic value, and so deeply in
teresting as this of Mr. Cartmell's. It
will remain a perpetual source of information
through generations to come, and
a lasting monument of the author's untiring
industry and his unequalled fitness
for the task he has so admirably accomplished.
The old county of Fiederick, Va., cov
tut- ??uuie normern secuon ot tne
Shenandoah Valley, west of the Blue
Ridge, and originally stretching over the
mountains to the Ohio river. Into this
fair land from beyond the Potomac came
the first pioneer settlers, followed by a
migration that flowed south and west up
the beautiful valley, out to the Greenbrier
on into the Southwest and the Carolinas,
and into Kentucky and Tennessee, i
Here were the springs from which
streamed the families who have made
the strength and civilization of great
States. They were English, Scotch and
Irish, German, Dutch and Swedes, and
the descendants are a great multitude
over every part of the South and West.
The history of this section is of deep,
varied and lasting interest to the many
who trace their American ancestry to the
brave and dauntless pioneers of the
Shenandoah, and to the many others
whose fathers fought on the many battlefields,
many of whom lie here in honored
graves. From Joist Hite and Morgan
Morgan, here is the story of Fairfax and
Washington tho vnnnv enrvo?-or of Hon
lei Morgan and Peter Muhlenburg, of i
Revolutionary fame. And over all this
valley, among the blue mountains, will
forever tide the name and memory of
Stonewall Jackson and the alert and valiant
columns in grey who followed their
great captain to battle and victory and
immortality of fame.
Beginning at the beginning of settlement,
the author has omitted nothing apparently
in making a full and accurate
history. Land grants, old roads, homesteads,
villages, mills, churches, schools,
notable characters, ' illustrious men and
a carefully prepared narrative of the
events or war ana tattle. A native of
the county, with large family connections,

E PRESBYTERIAN OF THE SO
clerk of the couit, familiar with all county
records, and an officer in the Confederate
army, on duty in the Army of the
Valley, there can he no one so well fitted
to prepare this valuable book. It must
have been the task of many years. What
might well have been the material for a
number of volumes has been combined In
one large and generous book. It has
been handsomely printed and most attractively
illustrated. It seems to us to
be final in its scone, and can never be
repeated, and will remain an authority
through the generations, becoming more
and more valuable in the coming years.
