SUMMARY:Mount Olivet Cemetery Civil War Tour
DESCRIPTION:This insightful walking tour features former residents who participated in and experienced first-hand the American Civil War. Mount Olivet was opened less than a decade before the conflict and possessed a contract with the federal government to bury here the dead of both armies who passed in Frederick’s “one vast hospital.” Many local veterans survived the horrors of war and came back to Frederick to continue their lives in peaceful times. They would be laid to rest here in family lots. Civilians like Barbara Fritchie\, Rev. Daniel Zacharias and Glenn Worthington played unique roles in Civil War lore and they\, too\, repose here. \nNote: This tour can be taken ala carte or is already bundled as a special FREE bonus to go with the 3-week Frederick in the Civil War ONLINE course being taught via Zoom (Aug.27-Sept. 10-See Course offering)​2+hour Walking Tour $20. Meet at the Key Chapel\, 100 yards behind the Francis Scott Key Monument (near front gate).

SUMMARY:SAR 250 Speakers Series - "The 1774 Summer of Discontent: How Colonial Governors Unified Patriots for War"
DESCRIPTION:Jim Bish\, Revolutionary War historian\, and President of Culpeper Minutemen Chapter VASSAR\, will reveal the importance of the many local Resolves that were penned in the summer of 1774\, especially in the middle Atlantic States of Maryland and Virginia. The local commitment against the actions of England became paramount in the success of the Revolution. Local residents reacted to the probable abolition of their rights by the British. This democratic action was the first step to declaring independence two years later. In doing so\, the county freeholders and inhabitants bought into the upcoming struggle while producing a purely democratic set of documents which show a united clarity of purpose. Their collective local actions and their statements\, county by county\, have rarely been duplicated\, previously or since. Virginia and Maryland produced the most comprehensive set of resolves compared to anywhere in the colonies leading up to the Revolutionary War. These resolves fortified their commitment to the ever-strengthening common cause of America. During the 1774 summer of discontent\, the Royal Governor’s actions helped to unify Virginians and Marylanders for war\, something that Massachusetts and the other colonies needed in the following years.
