================================

Cashtown During the Gettysburg Campaign was compiled and written by Cashtown resident Suzanne Mickley Youngblood in advance of the 150th anniversary of the battle, in 2013.

The Rock Top Book Shop, located in Cashtown, PA, has received permission from Ms. Youngblood to reprint her book – with a few changes to things she was unhappy with in the 2013 edition. She was kind enough to provide us with the original files, which has kept the quality of the photos from going a generation away from the originals – a huge step above having the scan a printed copy for reprinting !

Ms. Youngblood’s work briefly covers the early history of the Cashtown area (as legend has it – so named because early Inn Keeper Peter Marck insisted on cash payments, no credit or “tabs”).

The real meat of the book is all about the effects of the campaign on local farms and businesses. Many barns were used as Confederate Hospitals, some houses were commandeered as was the Cashtown Inn, and local crops and livestock were taken by the Army of Northern Virginia under command of General Robert E. Lee.

Well illustrated with turn of the century photos taken by locally well known photographer C.C. Kuhn, and maps from the Adams County Atlas of 1872 – this work has first rate imagery.
