Though the mountains of Western Maryland were not the site of any
major battles during the Civil War, the area did have its share of
activity and minor skirmishes. One of the most-daring raids of the
war occurred in Cumberland in 1865 when McNeill's Rangers kidnapped
two Union generals from their hotels beds and carried them off to
Richmond, Va. Also, because of its location on the B&O
Railroad, the county was also the site of many temporary hospitals
to care for wounded soldiers. Echoes of War Drums is a collection
of three dozen stories and more than 50 pictures of the Civil War
in Mountain Maryland. From spies to generals, from battles to
healing, James Rada, Jr. looks at the Civil War in the region from
all angles with attention-getting stories.
