F. Vernon Aler Aler's History of Martinsburg and Berkeley County, West Virginia

Annotation

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. N presenting this work to the public I feel that a great responsibility has been undertaken. It may, no doubt, meet with the harsh criticism of many; but as a consolation I feel satisfied that nothing but facts have been stated, and that every reader interested in the growth, prosperity and history of Berkeley County will appreciate this honest attempt. I have ventured this work on the market, feeling confident that the interested class - the people that have labored for our City and County - the ones that owe and feel a debt of gratitude to their forefathers for the present stage of their existence and welfare of the County - will sustain me in my efforts.
