Hanover Explores Its Historic Heart
June 30th, 1863, changed Hanover from a stop on a well-used route to a Civil War battle site whose outcomes impacted the more famous battle to the west in Gettysburg. Maj. Gen. J.E.B. Stuart, Brig. Gen. Elon Farnsworth, and Brig. Gen. George A. Custer are all military leaders who influenced the day. The delay that the unexpected fighting caused for Stuart is considered by many to be a crucial factor in the outcome of July 1st through the 3rd in Gettysburg. A wide range of events will be held on June 28th and 29th to commemorate Hanover's memorable historical place.
Three to Read: Jim McClure on Bringing York’s History to Light
“I immediately thought about “Almost Forgotten” and then two other books on Black history that bookended that work.
Those other two books — John V. Jezierski’s “Enterprising Images,” about York’s three Goodridge brothers who became pioneering Black photographers, and Daisy Myers’ autobiography “Sticks ’n Stones” — had a national scope. All three books — Jezierski’s, Myers’ and “Almost Forgotten” — tell about the Black experience in York County in three literary forms: biography, autobiography and general history, respectively.”
