Hi,

I'm an amateur history buff and happened to move to this area about seven years ago and have been slowly absorbing the absolutely overwhelming amount of history in this area. Over time, I have come realize there are some chunks missing and I'm not sure what do with them because I real don't have sources other than road signs and web chats with the head of a local historical society.

Example 1: Stumpy's Hollow... As I've heard it set up, the confederate had Camp Stephens between Hoke's Run and Martinsburg and were doing damage to the local railways (presumably, martinsburg was union at the time). When they heard Union forces were gathering in Williamsport, they sent J. E. B. Stuart north to Falling Waters and Marlowe to keep an eye on their movements. It seems it took a while because other confederate forces had time to show, including TJ Jackson and the band of new soldiers he'd been teaching.

According to the plaque at Stumpy's Hollow, Stuart, wearing his old Union uniform, rode up on a company of Union solders that were unsure to go or what to do. He drew on them, signaled his men and suggested they surrender. Allegedly, he ask if there were any objections and shot the first to speak up... no one else objected. Looking at the casualty reports, there is one company that had 35 captured and one injured. It makes me wonder if that was therm.

Example 2: TJ Jackson... There is a house behind the Sheetz I frequent that was supposed to be a log cabin under its clap board facade. It was built by Davey Crockett's grandfather in 1832 and was were Jackson set up his command post. He had the canons in the front yard and lookouts on the second floor.

I can confirm it was a log cabin, they started testing it down on Friday and are finishing today. I'm a bit bitter and angry about it. I don't think we need that 3-4 extra condos. Iamjimbus (talk) 20:37, 24 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
