Native American History of Washington, DC, District of Columbia, American Herita Read the missing stories of DC's precolonial history.Native Americans lived on the land that is now Washington, DC for several thousand years before English settlers arrived in the early 1600s.

These sites speak of the history of the Anacostans and the preceding tribes who once walked the land under historic sites and museums that now neglect them. Local author Armand Lione details the record of the Native tribes of the District and deals with the complex question of why these stories have not been offered to the public.

The Pennsylvania Wilds and the Civil War, Pennsylvania, Civil War Series, Paperb

The Pennsylvania Wilds and the Civil War, Pennsylvania, Civil War Series, Paperb The Call of Service and the Trial of War From abolitionists to copperheads, from patriotic volunteer soldiers to deserters, the Pennsylvania Wilds lived up to its adventurous name during the Civil War era. The region not only joined the front lines, but also played its part in the abolition of slavery. Including an extensive Underground Railroad system, many defied the Federal Fugitive Slave Act of 1850 to help those desperate to be free pass through the region on their way to Canada. The Wilds had average citizens and heroes alike volunteer for service including women who were not nurses but acted as nurses and those who remained on the home-front. Author Kathy Meyers presents stories of how the war came to the Pennsylvania Wilds and how the people of the Wilds responded.
