| 520 | _a"The Strange Story of Harper's Ferry, with Legends of the Surrounding Country" by Joseph Barry is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book delves into the rich and tumultuous history of Harper's Ferry, West Virginia, exploring both factual events and the legends that have arisen around them. The narrative covers the town's founding, its strategic significance during the Civil War, and a series of notable incidents, all framed by the colorful local lore that has developed over the years. The opening of the book sets the stage by describing Harper's Ferry before the Civil War, including details about its geography, population shifts, and the natural beauty of the region. Barry introduces key themes such as the fluctuating demographics post-war and the unique features of the town, including Jefferson's Rock and local flora and fauna. An historical overview of Robert Harper, the founder of the town, echoes throughout this section, tracing his life, the establishment of the ferry service, and how the town evolved into a critical military site. Furthermore, the author infuses the narrative with personal reflections and local anecdotes that contribute to the atmosphere and depth of Harper's Ferry’s storied past.
