Civil War - Hagerstown Newspapers
Lincoln at Antietam
Library of Congress.
The Hagerstown, Washington County, Maryland newspapers covered the events of the Civil War in their pages, not just the events at Antietam and South Mountain, but throughout the country. Editorials and letters to the editor from both sides of the conflict were printed.
This collection makes use of the
Historic Newspaper Indexing Project
that the Washington County Free Library has been engaged in for many years, funded by the Mary K. Bowman Fund for Historical and Fine Arts. The
Herald of Freedom and Torch Light
and other Hagerstown papers have been included.
This website was updated with items from the Hagerstown newspapers from the Civil War years. In some cases, though, no newspapers have survived. For example there is no local account of the Battle of Gettysburg and the various battles that took place in Washington County as the Confederates headed south.
For other newspapers in the area see
Crossroads of War, Maryland and the Border in the Civil War
, Catoctin Center for Regional Studies.
Western Maryland Regional Library is grateful to Carol Appenzellar who indexed and then selected the articles included and Joseph Berger who scanned the images from the collection at Washington County Free Library.
