Text Appearing Before Image:
RS MONUMENT, ANTIETAM. SHEPHERDSTOWNdates back to 1734, when Thomas Shep-herd selected its romantic site for a settle-ment, and gave it his own name. In the river at this place James Rum-say, in 1787, exhibited the steamboat hehad invented twenty-five years beforeFultons experiment on the Hudson.Shades of departed genius — supposeyou could see what is on the Hudsonand the Potomac to-day ! At Shenandoah Junction, the Baltimoreand Ohio Railroad crossed our track,and there we got an addition to our party of sightseers. A pleasant old gentlemanfrom Baltimore told us that Major-General Drake, a descendant of one ofthe judges of Charles I., and a Revolu-tionary hero, had his palatial abodeabout a mile from the Junction. Alsothat Horatio Gates, Charles Lee andAdam Stephen resided near this point.All these were with Washington atBraddocks defeat; all three werewounded ; all three joined the Colonists ;all three were made generals ; all threewere court-martialed and deprived oftheir command.
