Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Annals of Silver Spring
Montgomery County, within which Silver Spring is situated, was segregated from Prince George's County in 1748, when it became a part of Frederick County. Its historic soil even then should have felt and heard in whispers the coming of great events. General Braddock marched across it on his way to defeat in the French and Indian War, where General Washing ton gained the first experiences of a soldier. In his company and as a companion, my great great-grand father, Christopher Gist, born and raised in Baltimore, alse marched across: the soil of Old Montgomery.
