Farmers That Helped Shape America chronicles the settling of the
untamed wilderness that is today's western Maryland and the
participation of Isaac Van Sickle and his relatives in the Civil
War. It also explores other historical developments, such as
westward expansion; the building of the National Road; the B&O
Railroad and the C&O Canal and their impact on the mid-Atlantic
region. This recounting begins with the Van Sickle family, which
was one of the earliest settling families in today's western
Maryland. The Van Sickle family and a number of relatives played a
vital role in the Battle of Monocacy (commonly referred to as the
battle that saved Washington, D.C.) due to their service in the
Union army as members of the Third Potomac Home Brigade. The Van
Sickles's adventures were shared by untold tens of thousands of
hard working, poorly educated, patriotic young men from both the
north and south; Collins's retelling offers a unique insight into
their Civil War era service. This story of hardships, survival, and
courage of Collins's ancestors will remind the reader of the
selfless sacrifices that their own ancestors made in making and
defending freedom. The Van Sickles's story honors our past,
present, and future soldiers.
